Linking lists to menus

Prev Next

This article explains how to set up a menu item to link to a list.

Linking out to a list from a menu item is as simple as entering the list's ID during menu configuration. When a user selects the menu item in their app, the list is displayed. 

Navigate to the menu configuration area. To do this, select DISPLAY, followed by Menus.

Note: You can link to lists from both primary menus and sub-menus.

  1. Start by selecting the menu type you want to configure, from the left-hand navigation (Header, Account, or Footer.)

  2. Next, select the required menu variant.

  3. Enter information into the relevant fields:

    • enter label: Specify a title for your menu item.

    • enter destination: Enter /list/{id} (this generates the select list field.)

    • enter list: Select the list you wish to display.

4. When you're done, select Save_and_Publish_button.png to save changes.

Compatibility notes: From AXIS Presentation Manager 10.0 onwards, the Call-to-action functions are as follows. They work in a consistent way across Presentation Manager.

To Save or Publish

The following buttons are available to save, or save and publish:

  • Save X (where X is the name of the side tab currently open) - this saves the content of the currently open side tab, but does not publish it. It is available when any changes have been made to the content of that side tab.

    Note: In Pages, this button is entitled Save Variants. It saves all the variants in the Content side tab.

  • Save and Publish - any new changes across the entire object are saved, and the whole object is published to make it visible to your end-users to view and interact with. It is available when there are any saved or unsaved changes, which have not been published, in the content of any of the side tabs.

Buttons for saving variants and publishing content on a digital platform interface.

To Unpublish, Archive or Delete

Within the More drop down list are further options:

  • Unpublish - this removes the object from publication, so your end-users can no longer view and interact with it, and puts it back into a status of Draft.

  • Archive - this puts the object into a status of Archived, which prevents any further use, although it can still be viewed. Note that if this is actioned while an object is in a status of Live, it is automatically unpublished.

  • Delete - this completely removes the object from the system. It is only available in Pages.

Note: To check the success of selecting any of these options, the header includes the updated status of the object. See The header and status for details of the resulting status after taking any action, and what the header looks like in AXIS Presentation Manager 10.0.
