Overview
Menu items are used to control web pages permissions for a group or audience. Menu codes are set against each role and can be shared across different roles.
Use menu items to maintain the following properties:
- Menu Title
- Authentication
- Head and Layout Template that determines the look of the page (Classic sites only)
Step-by-step guide
To create a new menu item on an existing menu:
- While logged into your website, navigate to Content / Advanced Content → Menu Editor (zMenus.aspx).
- To select the required Menu Code, click its radio button.
- To access the top level menu items, click Parent Items.
- Identify where the new page will be located on your navigation structure (For example, it can be at the top level of the navigation or in a footer menu. Or as a hidden link that you can use and post on Social Media so users who arrive at the site will not see it).
- If this is a top level menu item, continue to Step 7. If this is a sub-level item, select the top level menu it will belong to ('Preferences', for example), then click Menu Items.
- To create a new menu item, click New.
