The menu configuration page is the management page for an individual menu.
This page may be broken down into 3 distinct groups:
- Menu Path Settings
- Advanced Settings
- Menu Items
Menu Path Settings
This section contains a single field that allows for customizing where a given menu should appear.
Only users who have the Change Workbench Menu Path permission are allowed to alter this field.
Advanced Settings
Most of the advanced settings are only viewable and changeable by users with the appropriate permission.
These settings provides the ability to adjust the menu weight, alter the visibility of parent menus, make the menu a hidden menu, or change the menu name as presented in the breadcrumb.
Menu Items
The menu items, for all intents and purposes, are the menu itself.
This section provides a table for adding, editing, and deleting menu items as well as changing their relative location in the menu tree structure.
This table consists of the following columns:
- Item Name
- Item Type
- Operations
- ID
The Item Name is the name of the item according to the menu and is almost always used as the displayed name.
The Item Type displays the type of item that the particular menu item falls under. This Item Type defines how the menu item does or does not get present as well as how it interacts with other menu items and the client browser.
The Operations is a collection of links for performing actions on the particular menu item, such as editing or deleting.
The ID is a unique ID used to represent that menu item. This is particularly useful for the Menu Item item type.
Immediately below the Menu Items table is an Add new menu item link used for adding new menu items to the table.
