Menu Management

Control which pages appear in the navigation menus across your platform. Reorder items, show or hide pages, nest submenu entries, and organize sections — all changes take effect immediately without any configuration.

Key Features

• Drag-and-Drop Reordering: Grab any menu item and drag it to a new position or into a different feature group — the order saves automatically. Valid drop zones highlight green as you drag; invalid zones dim red
• Sidebar & Top Bar: Switch between the sidebar menu and top bar menu using the buttons at the top of the page
• Show/Hide Items: Toggle any item on or off using the eye icon — hidden items appear faded with a strikethrough in the list
• Edit Item Details: Change a menu item's title, icon, location, platform, feature group, and submenu placement from a clean edit panel
• Submenu Support: Assign a parent item to nest pages as submenu entries — child items appear indented beneath their parent in both the structure list and the live preview
• Live Preview: A real-time sidebar preview on the right updates as you make changes, showing exactly how the menu will look to users
• Platform Sections: Items are organized by platform (Air4 Pilot, Pilot, Portal) in collapsible sections — your expanded/collapsed state is saved between visits

Tips

• Dashboard and Menu Management are protected — they cannot be hidden, moved, or deactivated
• Items with a badge like "2 sub" have submenu children — click the pencil icon to view or change their parent assignment
• Use the Refresh button to reload menu data and discard any unsaved drag-and-drop changes
• Setting Menu Location to None removes an item from all menus without deleting it from the system
• Collapse platform sections by clicking their header to keep the list tidy — the state is remembered for your next visit
