Add New Menu

Add New Menu

Step 1: Go to Web Content > Site Map > Add New Menu
 
 

Step 2: Complete Appropriate Fields and Click 'Save'

Field Definitions:

 
  • Parent – To be selected if you are creating a submenu. This will determine which main menu the submenu appears under. This can be left blank on the parent menu item.
  • URL – System auto-generates the URL. Do not edit this. If the menu item you create must reference to a document uploaded to Web content > Files, enter the file URL here.
  • URL Title - Text that appears when you hover the mouse over the menu bar and the text that appears on the admin site map.
  • URL Link Text – Text that appears on the menu bar.
  • Activate On/Deactivate On  - Project settings must be updated to use these fields. These fields are meant to activate and deactivate the pages per the dates/times entered here. 
  • Metadata Keywords -Project settings must be updated to use these fields.
  • Forward to URL – The menu will automatically re-direct to a URL you specify. Use this function if you are not adding content and if you are linking the menu item to a different functionality or to an external page.
  • Order – Determines the order in which the menu item will appear. Tip: always skip the order by at least 3 numbers to make re-ordering easier.
  • Security Level – Do not edit
  • Root Menu – If “Yes,” the menu will be placed on the main menu bar. If “No,” the system will assume it is a submenu and you must assign it to a “Parent”.
  • Quick Link – The menu will appear at the bottom of every page on the site. NOTE: you may need to ask your Project Manager to activate the Quick Links on your website.
  • Link Only –Forces the system to link directly to the url provided and not 'track' the link as a 'click through.'
  • New Window – If “Yes,” the menu will open in a new window. If “No,” the menu will open within the same window. Tip: open external websites and documents in a new window so users are not taken away from your website.
  • Static Page - Used to indicate that page should not show up as a menu item. This allows users to create content that does not have a menu item tied to it.
  • Status – Determines if the menu will appear on the menu bar. “Active” menus will appear, “Inactive” menus will not appear. Not to be confused with the status of menu content.
Step 3: Close Window and Click 'Reload Navigation' from the Site Map
 
 

NOTE: You must 'Reload Navigation' anytime you edit a navigation menu in order to see your changes on the website.
