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.
-
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.
In the menu list, click on a blue menu link to edit the menu. This will open the menu edit page.
There are two ways to move a menu:
-
In the site 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 "Save" button.
-
Click the "Add new" button at the bottom of 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. The label will be the name of the menu that appears in the page.
-
In the "Path" field, enter the URL of the menu.
This may be either a database table or a page.

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