ICA-AtoM includes a menu customization feature that allows administrators to change menu labels, move menus to different positions on the screen, create new menus and delete existing menus.

Menu list page

1. Click the "Admin > Menus" menu.

   This will open the menu list page.

   The menus are listed as links; clicking on a link will open an edit page for the menu.

   Some menus have a lock icon next to them. This means that they cannot be deleted, although they can be edited.

Menu edit page

Edit an existing menu

In the menu list, click on a blue menu link to edit the menu. This will open the menu edit page.

Edit menu label

1. In the Label field of the menu edit page, enter a new label for the menu
2. Click the "Save" button

Move a menu

There are two ways to move a menu:

1. In the site menu list page, click on the up or down arrow to the left of each menu link.

2. In the menu edit page, use the drop-down menu in the "Parent menu" field to select a new parent menu.

   For example, if you wish to make the "Archival institution" menu a sub-menu of the admin menu in the main menu, select "Admin" from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the "Save" button.

Add a new menu

1. Click the "Add new" button at the bottom of the menu list page. This will open an edit page for the new menu.

2. In the "Name" field, enter a name for the menu.

   This need not be the same as the menu name. The label will be the name of the menu that appears in the page.

   This may be either a database table or a page.

5. In the "Description" field, enter descriptive information about the menu if desired.
