How do I add a new item in my left menu in the CMS?

This is only possible if you are a Moderator level user. If you are not a Moderator, please ask one of the Moderators in your department or contact Information Services.

The left menu on your department website is made up of section names. If a section has the ‘Show in Navigation’ tick box ticked, it will automatically appear in the menu.

If you want an additional item in the left menu, you will need to add a new section for it (creating a new page), and leave the ‘Show in Navigation’ tick-box ticked so that it will automatically be inserted.

If you want the new item in the main menu at the top level of your site, your new sub-section’s ‘parent section’ will need to be the main section.

If you want the new item to be in one of the sub-menus (e.g. a new item in the menu that shows when you click on Current Students) your new section’s ‘parent section’ will need to be the Current Students section.
