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.
1. Click the admin > menus tab
- This will open the site menu list screen.
- The menus are listed as links; clicking on a link will open an edit screen for the menu.
- Note that some menus have a lock icon next to them. This means that they cannot be deleted, although they can be edited.
2. Edit menu
- In the site menu list, click on a blue menu link to edit the menu. This will open the menu edit screen.
3. Change menu label
- In the Label field of the menu edit screen, enter a new label for the menu.
- Click the save button.
4. Move menu
- There are two ways to move a menu:
- In the site menu list screen, click on the up or down arrow to the left of each menu link.
- In the menu edit screen, use the drop-down menu in the Parent menu field to select a new parent menu.

- Click the save button.
5. Add new menu
