Administrators can customize the Navigation across the User Portal, including menus and items.
This article outlines the following concepts:
Create a New Menu
A Menu is a list or cluster of items that direct users to different places. To create a New Menu:
Go to Configuration > Click Navigation Menu > Click an existing Menu to add items
Give this menu a Title, describe the Menu Type (Leftside, Topbar, etc), and provide a Description.
Edit an Existing Menu
Each Tovuti site comes with default Navigation Menus.
For example, the user view of the Dashboard Left Side Menu is shown below.
To edit the items in one of these existing menus:
Go to Configuration > Click Navigation Menu > Click an existing Menu
Menu Items
A Menu Item is a clickable item that leads to a specific area within the User Portal, such as a Course page, an Event Calendar, a dashboard, etc.
Click New or select an existing menu item.
In the Details tab, designate the settings that set where this item will be and how it is viewed.
For additional information on the different Menu Item Types, view the Hel Center article here.
Auto-Translate a Navigation Menu Item
In the Languages field, select the language that applies to this Menu Item. If All is selected, Tovuti automatically translates this Menu Item to the language selected by the user. If a specific language is selected, Admins define a custom translation for the Menu Title and Alias fields. (see screenshot above)
Additional Customizations
Customize this Menu Item further with settings in the following tabs:
- Link Type - add an optional link to the menu title element
- Page Display - set optional text for page elements
- Metadata - include discovery and identification information
- Options - choose the displayed icon
- Associations - point to a different location if a specific language is selected (see above)
Click Save.
