Menu editor

Create menu presets to rename/reorder items, add/remove tabs, and assign custom menus to specific users.

How to create a menu template

Navigate to Settings → Menu editor. You will see this screen, or a variation of it:

The page consists of the following sections:

  • Menu presets

  • Assigned to (displayed only for non-default presets)

  • Visual editor

  • Item selector

A list of created menu presets. By default, this only contains the default template created by Navixy.

To create a new preset, click Add new preset and enter the name you wish. To duplicate an existing preset, select it in the drop-down menu and click Duplicate preset. To rename it, click Rename preset. To delete it, click Delete preset. Clicking Star will make the preset default, automatically applying it to all users unless they change their settings.

Assigned to

This section is used for applying the template to specific users.

Presets can be applied to any chosen user. If you delete a preset, the user will be assigned the template marked as default.

Visual editor

An interactive editor of your side menu. As items are rearranged or renamed, you will see the changes both in the menu and in the Item selector section on the right of the page.

All menu items can be renamed and dragged-and-dropped to order them as you see fit. Tabs inside each module can also be renamed and moved.

To add a new menu item, click Add item on top of the section and select it from the drop-down list. You can add multiple items to a menu group.
