Menu navigation tree

The Civic Platform Menu Navigation page uses a folder structure called the Menu Navigation Tree to configure, create, and display custom menus.

Menu navigation tree example

To view the configurations at different levels, select the plus (+) or minus (-) sign within the menu navigation tree. Right-clicking a tree node in the menu navigation tree displays a menu of all the operations you can perform with the node. For example, if you right-click a module name, you can add groups or menu templates for the module. You can also delete the module settings.

B	The Agency folder	You can add agency-level menu template, or add modules and groups and then configure module-level and group-level templates in this folder.
