# 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

3. 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.

4. Link Title

Link Titles are the exact name a customer would see wherever the navigation is put into.

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

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
