10.3 The Menu field type

Menu example

Creating a new menu field

Purpose	Use this field to create a hierarchical menu.
Example	In the Example catalog, in Trips/Scotland, there is a menu called `Country' that contains an item for different areas of the world and a number of possible destinations within each one.
Edit	Click on the field to display the menu. You can then drill down the menu to select an item.
Field options
Items	Add Item: select the root menu item and then click Add Item to add an item to the menu. You can change the item name by double-clicking it and entering new text. If you want to add an item to an item, select it and click Add Item. This creates a sub-menu. Remove Item: to remove an item, select it and click Remove Item Duplicate Item: to add a duplicate item, select it and click Duplicate Item Move Item Up/Down: use these buttons to change the order of the items in the menu

Before the Add button will appear you have to select the node to add the item to - Menus can be nested so Catalyzer needs to know whether to add the item at the top level of the menu, or as a subitem.

You can also copy and paste items from and into the Menu list. For example, when you have a large number of items in a list in Word and you want to add them to a Menu field, you can copy and paste by right-clicking and selecting Copy or Paste.
