I have make this altering the NavigationModel.cs

After search alot, don't found any example doing that.

I have create a DynamicNavigation like this:

 public class DynamicDashboards : INavigationItemSource
    {
        public List<NavigationItemAttribute> GetItems()
        {
            var items = new List<NavigationItemAttribute>
            {
                new NavigationMenuAttribute(1000, "Dashboards", "icon-speedometer")
            };

            using (var connection = SqlConnections.NewByKey("Default"))
            {
                var dashboards = connection.List<DashboardsRow>();
                foreach (var dashboard in dashboards)
                    items.Add(new NavigationLinkAttribute(1000,
                        path: "Dashboards/" + dashboard.Descricao.Replace("/", "//"),
                        url: "~/Dashboards/DefaultDashboard?link=" + dashboard.Link,
                        permission: CadastrosPermissionKeys.General,
                        icon: "icon-speedometer"));
            }

            return items;
        }
    }

Them on NavigationModel.cs, i'm calling this class for insert it on Items

    var dy = new DynamicDashboards();
    var dashboardMenu = NavigationHelper.ConvertToNavigationItems(NavigationHelper.ByCategory(dy.GetItems()), x => x != null && x.StartsWith("~/") ? VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(x) : x);
    Items[0] = dashboardMenu[0]

In my case i have an default menu inside Dashboard, so i just adding this again on position [0], you can manipulate this like you want.
