Menus provide navigation of the site and are configurable.
There is one Main Menu, and other menus can also be created: a log-in menu or a footer menu are examples of other menus. Menu items generally direct the user to a Component. Components can be Articles or Extensions that are added to the system.
When creating a Menu item, there are various choices that can be made. The first main choice is what type of menu item is being created. The CMS allows for configuring many menu types, such as those based on Articles (single article, blogs), System Links (menu headings, url links) or components, such as the Model Browser and Process Layout.
Two other important choices made when creating a menu include the Parent Item in the menu under which to put the new item, (ok keep it at the Root) and Access – what Access Level is allowed to access – or even see – the Menu item. Both selections are chosen from drop down boxes.
