Adding Menu Items

Purpose

The example below is beginning with a menu that has not yet been completed, however, the principle of adding items is the same as when updating an existing menu.

This article contains instructions for adding:

• A parent menu item
• A child menu item

Adding Parent Menu Items

To add items to a menu set:

1. Log in as a VaultAccess user to VisualVault.   
2. Hover over the user information in the upper right-hand corner of the window and select Control Panel.
   
3. Select the Admin Tools tab.
   
4. Select Menus.  
   
5. Under the Menus column, select the EditMenu link in the row of the desired menu.  
   
6. In the window that appears, use the Add button to add a new item to the menu.
   • This will add New Item to the left column and the following buttons will be enabled:
     • Edit
     • Copy to Clipboard  
       
7. Once an item has been added, select the item from the left column and use the Edit button.
   • This will bring up the Menu Node Properties window which has two tabs:
     • Properties
     • Security  
       
8. In the Menu Node Properties window, update Node Properties as desired.  
   • Please note that depending on the specific Action selection from the drop-down, there may be additional configuration options available in the Action Properties (this will be covered in the section titled Security).
     
9. When all desired configurations have been made, use one of the following buttons to save:
   • Save and Close: This will save the configuration and close out of the Menu Node Properties window.
   • Save Details: This will save the configuration and keep the Menu Node Properties window open so additional configurations can be made.
     

Adding Child Menu Items

Once a parent menu item has been created, upon selection of the parent item in the left column, the Add Child button becomes available.

Similar to the adding of a parent item, when the Add Child button is used, New Item will appear in the right column Child Menu Items.

Using the same steps in the previous section, update the Menu Node Properties and Security as desired.
