Main Page > User manual > Administer > Manage menus
ICA-AtoM includes a menu customization feature that allows administrators to change menu labels, move menus to different positions on the page, create new menus and delete existing menus.
To see a list of menus, click the "Admin > Menus" menu. This will open the menu list page.
Some menus have a lock icon next to them; this means that they cannot be deleted, although they can be edited.
In the menu list, click on a blue menu link to edit the menu. This will open the menu edit page. You can edit the name, label, parent, path or description of the menu. Click "Save" in the button block to save the changes.
There are two ways to move a menu:
- In the menu list page, click on the up or down arrow to the left of each menu link.
- 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.
- Click the "Add new" button in the column header on the menu list page. This will open an edit page for the new menu.
- In the "Name" field, enter a name for the menu.
- In the "Label" field, enter the label (this need not be the same as the menu name).
- In the "Path" field, enter the URL of the menu. This may be either a action/module, external link (prefix with http://) or a static page (Use "staticpage/static?permalink=staticpage_permalink").
- In the "Parent" menu field, use the drop-down menu to select a parent menu.
- In the "Description" field, enter descriptive information about the menu if desired.
- Click the "Save" button in the button block.
To delete a menu, click on the delete button in button block in the menu's edit page. Although this action cannot be undone, the menu can be restored as a new menu, see add a new menu, above.
