Adding Sidebar Menus

You can insert a sidebar navigation menu in your app.

Important: When you define a menu, it is centralized at the app level so that you can use it as a common menu in every app screen. You can however create menus showing specific content for given screens.

  1. In the Menu properties panel, enter the sidebar menu Name.
  2. Use Sections to split the sidebar menu into several sections, each displaying links to destination screens of your app.
    1. From Label, enter the section label. For example, Section 1.
    2. From Icon mode, select a section icon.
    3. Select Include Search, to add a search icon on the right of the section label.

      In the app, clicking opens a search field at the top of your list of section screens.

      Note: This utility searches for matching names in the sidebar menu section.

    4. From Links, define all the links to the screens that the section must gather. For example, Screen 1 and Screen 2.
  3. Repeat the previous step to add more sections.
  4. Required: Add the sidebar menu to one or more screens.

    For more information, see Configure a Sidebar Menu.

Notes:

  • When the menu is collapsed, you can only see the section icons. Section labels are hidden.

  • In Menus, you cannot define a menu for the start screen (Home page). For that screen, you must edit the Screen properties, and configure a sidebar with links to other screens.
