coreFORCE - Website: Managing Menu Items
Menu items refer to the clickable links that customers will utilize in your navigation bar.
Some default examples include "About us" and "Contact us" these can be used as great ways to help either funnel your customers to more narrowed pages or to help them find exactly what they're looking for. Menu items can even help customers be linked to external sites
Click on Setup > Menu Items
Click on ADD
Description
This description will be the name used to help filter out options on our backend. For example one could utilize "CHRISTMAS - Buy Now" as a different link than a "Buy Now" button but have those two share similar link titles so the customer would never know the difference at first glance.
Link Title
Link Titles are the exact name a customer would see wherever the navigation is put into.
Link URL
Link URL refers to where the menu item will take a customer upon clicking the link. This does not have to redirect directly into coreFORCE any URL can be utilized here
Submenu
Submenus are an option available in coreFORCE to incorporate a dropdown menu, this enables the functionality to have "menu groups" where there can be a top level menu like "Animal calls" and then "Duck calls" "Deer Calls" etc as dropdowns from this one menu item
Page
The page option serves as an alternative to the link URL where a page on coreFORCE can be directly tied to the menu item in place of a link URL
For those not logged in
This option allows the menu item to be viewed by any user regardless of being signed in or not. This will allow either admin or member only options to be available
For non-administrator users
This toggle allows the menu item to be visible by anyone signed in with a user account. This can be utilized to offer special user only pages that can offer unique links to special deals
For administrators
This option allows for items to be visible only to administrator users. This can be utilized to enable options on the home page for quick access to work in progress pages or even backend routes
Sort Order
Sort Order is a simple field that allows the menu item to show up in an order other than alphabetically. Sort order works from Lowest > Highest so 1 comes before 100
