To be able to edit the menu structure, the user requires the portal
permission Access Design module.
To add applications to a menu, the user
requires the portal permission
Access Applications module.
Every menu structure element can be moved within the structure via
drag & drop.
All changes to the menu
structure will take immediate effect when you click OK.

In the left-hand area, you will see the entire, current portal menu
structure in a tree view.

By clicking on the "Table" button at the bottom, the portal menu will be shown
as a list.

You can search for individual menu item here.

4. Pre-configured menu structures
In every portal, there are three pre-defined menu structures available:
Standard
Suitable for desktop views
Mobile
Suitable for mobile devices
Quicklinks
All menu items contained here are shown as quicklinks
These menu structures can be assigned the various
Menu elements that you use in the layout.
These are represented by the
symbol in the tree structure.
Moreover, these can be integrated into
layout properties.
Title
In the right-hand area, the title of each menu structure can be edited.
Menu folders will be represented with this
symbol in the tree structure. The properties of a menu folder
are shown on the right when you select it on the left in the tree
or table structure.
With this option, no start page will be loaded in the application
area initially - the area will remain empty.
5.1.2 Portal page
Here, each menu item can be assigned its own portal page, on which any
combination of portlets from the portal applications can be displayed
in the browser.
Edit portal pages
Opens a dialog,
where new portal pages can be defined.
5.1.3 Default start pages
With this option, you can choose from one of the following standard pages:
Intrexx default start page
shows a list of all applications that are located in the submenu directly beneath the menu folder in the browser.
Forums page
lists all forum that are contained in the selected menu folder on the start page.
Login page
shows a page with the ability to enter the username and password for logging in to the portal.
Start page mobile devices without login
can be used for mobile devices that are not JavaScript-enabled.
Start page mobile devices with login
shows a page with the ability to enter the username and password for logging in to the portal for mobile devices.
5.1.4 Application
Applications can also be selected as the start page for a menu folder.
Application / Page
Select the desired application and page that will be shown when the menu
folder is clicked on. All pages that are valid as a start page for the
application can be selected here.
5.1.5 Alternative start page
Here, a Velocity file can be implemented as an alternative
start page. The file must be located in the directory portal directory /internal.
Enter the path in square brackets:
vm[internal\system\vm\html\include\VMFile.vm]
Additionally, the ability to output a CMS article as a start page
is available:
CMS1 article
To integrate a CMS1 article, enter the link here under "Alternative
start page" in the format "cms[App-GUID, Page-GUID,
Rec-ID]" in square brackets.
CMS2 pages
Since these pages can act as folders, the CMS2 pages simply need to be placed in the menu using the CMS2
application to integrate them here. In the Menu Designer, other elements, such as
applications, links, subfolders, etc, can then be assigned below the
CMS2 page.
Additional parameters
Individual parameters can be defined here. The value of this parameter will then be
transmitted as a request upon clicking on a further menu item. Ideally,
individual parameters should start with the character string "rq_".
Here is an example for a user-defined parameter in the
menu structure:
rq_myparameter=myvalue
These parameters can be processed when the page is loaded, such as for
table filtering. The internal parameter "rq_Layout" can
be used to change the layout when a menu item is selected. To do so,
transfer the name of your layout:
rq_layout=mylayout
