Quick Tips

• Hover your mouse over the labels before the input box, and extra information will be shown.
• If you forgot to create a module for this menu, you can do so directly from the Menus screen by clicking on Add a module for this menu or by using the Module Manager, found by going to Extensions → Modules. Click on New, and then on Menu. Fill in a title and select the Menu in the Module Parameters.
• It is a good idea to give a descriptive title for new menus. This is how the menu will be identified in the Backend Menus menu. It is also a good idea to fill in the Description field with information about the menu. This is how the menu's module will be referred to in the Module Manager.
• When you create a new menu, use only alphanumeric characters without spaces in the Unique Name field. It is a good idea to use only a-z, 0-9 and underscore (_) characters. Please read the tooltips as well.
