i'd set up a dropdown to organize better the tabs in theside nav. Right now i don't have many but in some time i will have at least 28 of them... So like i'm developing a industrial dashboard for a company which have 2 industries. And i'm making a specific tab for each "area" of the industry. So would go for something like
industry1 v
area 1
area 2
area 3
...
industry2 v
area 1
area 2
area 3
...
And then later i'd create a view optmized for mobile so:
idustry 1 (mobile) v
area 1
area 2
area 3
...
