How to Manage Menus in Open Atrium

In order to manage the menus on your website Open Atrium provides you with a separated page where all of the sections containing menus are displayed. In this tutorial we are going to show you how to fully manage the menus on your website.

Step 1 Add a Menu Item

In order to access the menu management page you will need to navigate to Admin>Structure>Menus.

Then you will be redirected to the Menus page where you will be presented with the areas where you can add menu items. In order to do so you will need to click on the add link button next to the area you would like to add the menu.

For the purpose of this tutorial we are going to add a link to the Main Menu section. Once you click on the add link button you will be presented with the menu creation page. There you will need to configure the Menu link title, Path, Description and few other options.

Once you are done with the configuration please click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.

On the next page you will be able to configure where the menu item you have added should be placed in the order of the main menu. The interface on the next page is relatively simple and you will be able to drag-and-drop the menu item to the position you would like to.

We have moved the link to the first position in the menu before our Discussions link and here is how the link look like in the menu.
