***Remember: Pages and the dropdown menu are separate! Just because you created a page, does not mean it will auto appear in the dropdown menu. You have to connect them separately.

Connecting a page to the dropdown menu

To add a page to your mega menu dropdown or edit:

1.	Click your name in the black bar 2.	Click “Admin Tool”
3.	Find your school’s name on the right 4.	Custom Drop Down Menu

3

	
Find the section you created your page under

Add an Item

To edit, delete, or re-order your dropdown menu, you can use the controls on the right.

To re-order, simply drag them into order.

Some schools have multiple sections of a category:

Each break is a new column

HOWEVER, You cannot move menu items from one column to another. They have to be re-added from scratch.

You can move columns up or down in order
(they are ordered form left to right)	5

To connect your new page to the drop down:

	
The friendly URL that you already copied!

Add a slash / before it

Example: /Volunteers.aspx

If this is not the same as the friendly URL for that page, the page will result in an error.

Title of your page (should be the same as you made it earlier)

Leave as Same Window for internal pages.

For redirects to other websites, place the URL for that website
in the item URL and change the Target to New Window.	6

	Redirect

	Own website

Find the item you just added.

For redirects to new websites, it will say [NEW WINDOW]

To change the order it appear, simply drag the item into the order you like.

**You can not drag menu items into new sections (ie: Volunteers from Parents to Students sections). Instead, you must delete it from one section and re-add it to another one.

To test the link between page and menu:

Go to your homepage (easiest way to get out from the back end is to just type it in the url)

Go to the dropdown and click the new page. If it takes you to your new page, it works!

*Make sure it opens in a new Tab if they’re leaving your website.

Things to keep in mind:

• When you add to your dropdown menu, it automatically goes to the bottom of the menu
navigation list. Drag it to the location you want it to be.
