Assigning a Piece of Content to a Menu

Power users have the ability to manage the links displayed in the main menu and secondary menus.  Each content record can be assigned ONCE to a menu via the Content Management Form.  If a page needs to be listed in multiple areas of the main menu, or multiple menus, then manual menu links must be added for subsequent listings.  The instructions below are for the most common use case of adding a page’s primary link in the main menu.

  1. Click the "Menu Settings" tab at the bottom of the content management form.
  2. Check the checkbox to "Provide a Menu Link"
  3. Enter a Menu Link Title in the Menu Settings section. (This is the actual name that will appear in the sites dropdown, or side navigation menus.)
  4. In the Parent Item section, select the appropriate subsection of the MAIN MENU to insert your new menu item. (The Parent Item is the page that is one level above where you intend place this content in the menu.)

You can ignore the Weight field, and use the Drag-and-Drop interface to place your menu item in its specific location.

     5.  Save your changes to the content record.  The Menu Link will be created after you save the node.

Proceed to the Setting the Display Order of Menu Items section.

Note: Adding a menu item only applies to content that will be displayed in the site's menu links.  Some content will be automatically placed where they should be displayed.  These pieces of content do not need menu links, unless you explicitly want to promote a piece of this content through the menu.
