Administration Menus

When you login to the administration, you will see a series of menus across the top of the page. It depends what your user has been given access to as to which menu items they will see.

If you want to add or delete menu items from the administration, you can do so by going to Advanced Settings » Admin Navigation & Buttons.

 

From this page you can delete, edit and add new menu items.

 

The menu navigation level in shop administration enables you to setup level 1, level 2, and level 3 menus.

Level 2 menu will be the dropdown list of the main menu :



Level 3 menu will be the submenus that appear after we click one of the menus in level 2:

If you wish to add a new dropdown menu, instead of typing in one of the names above, type in your new name (eg. "mymenu" - without quotes) and it will automatically be added to the menu at the top.

You are able to assign image to Level 2 and Level 3 Menu, but it is not a "required" field.

To add an image for your new menu, go to shopa_menu_control.asp and click Edit for the menu you have just created. In the “fldimage” field, enter the image file name e.g. edit_testmenu.gif and upload the image to the folder “admin/images/icons”.

fldOrder: This is the order by which the menu item will appear in the subsection.

Once you have added your menu, you need to add it to your user’s logins so that they are authorized to see it (see page 168for more information).
