Forward to URL – The menu will automatically re-direct to a URL you specify. Use this function if you are not adding content and if you are linking the menu item to a different functionality or to an external page.
- Order – Determines the order in which the menu item will appear. Tip: always skip the order by at least 3 numbers to make re-ordering easier.
- Security Level – Do not edit
- Root Menu – Ensure this is set to “No,” for a sub menu.
- Quick Link – The menu will appear at the bottom of every page on the site. NOTE: you may need to ask your Project Manager to activate the Quick Links on your website.
- Link Only –Forces the system to link directly to the url provided and not 'track' the link as a 'click through.'
- New Window – If “Yes,” the menu will open in a new window. If “No,” the menu will open within the same window. Tip: open external websites and documents in a new window so users are not taken away from your website.
- Static Page - Used to indicate that page should not show up as a menu item. This allows users to create content that does not have a menu item tied to it.
- Status – Determines if the menu will appear on the menu bar. “Active” menus will appear, “Inactive” menus will not appear. Not to be confused with the status of menu content.
