Add a Menu to the Navigation Pane

By default, a new WebApp has one menu created called Switchboard. Menus can be registered within menus to allow sub menus to drill through to other options inside the Navigation pane.

To create a menu:

  1. Click Admin > WebApps on the Navigation pane.

  2. Click Menus for a WebApp.

    View the field descriptions for the Menus page

  3. Click Add.

  4. Enter a name in MENU NAME field.

  5. Click Save.

  6. Click Menu Links.

    View the field descriptions for the Menu Links page

  7. Click Add.

  8. Enter a number in the PRIORITY field.

    NOTE: The priority determines the order of the page links from top to bottom. Priority automatically sorts in an ascending order. The higher the priority, the lower an item displays in the Navigation pane.

  9. Select an image name in the IMAGE ID list box (optional).

    NOTE: This image displays to the left of the menu item in the Navigation pane.

  10. Select the page that the menu option links to from the Link to Page ID list box (optional).

    **NOTE:**If there is page identified in the Link to Page ID field, the URL entered is ignored. Only one of these options can be used.

    NOTE: When a GUID displays in the Link to Page ID column, it indicates the page is an external WebApp. Do not alter or remove this menu link; it could render the WebApp not editable.

  11. Enter the name that displays on the Navigation pane in Label field, if necessary.

    NOTE: If the Label field is left blank, the name of the target page displays in the Link to Page ID field, and this is translated automatically if enabled.

  12. Select an option from SUBMENUID list box.

    NOTE: The Submenu ID determines the options on the main menu. For example, all menu links defined in Configuration display as a submenu under Configuration on the Navigation pane.

  13. Enter a URL to which the menu options links (optional ).

    NOTE: If there is page identified in the Link to Page ID field, the URL entered is ignored. Only one of these options can be used.

  14. Click Save.
