Adding a New Item to a HTML Menu

This topic provides step-by-step instructions on creating a new menu item and adding it to an existing HTML menu on a MicroStrategy Web page. Changes to a HTML menu affect every instance of the HTML menu.

Launch the Edit HTML Menus Wizard (Add).
Select the menu to which you wish to add a new menu item.
Click Next.
Enter the name for the menu item in the Type in a name for the new element text field under the Basic section.
Enter a description for the tool tip in the Tooltip Description text field.
Select a target for the menu item from the drop down menu.
Either select the A hyperlink to a different page radio button if you wish to open a Web site in a browser, and specify the URL in the text field next to it, or select the An event within MicroStrategy Web radio button if you wish to trigger an event, and specify the requirement for arguments.
Check Trigger IFrame manipulation under the Advanced section if required.
Click Modify to select the web feature for enabling or disabling the menu item.
Click Modify to select the web feature that determines when the menu item is to be displayed.
Specify if the web features are associated with a bean.
Enter the JavaScript code for the menu item.
Click Next.
If you did not select the radio button for an event to be triggered on selecting the menu item, click Finish and save your changes. Otherwise, follow the remaining instructions.
Click Browse in the Event section to select the enumeration class for the event.
Select the event from the drop down menu to specify the event that will be triggered when the menu item is selected.
If you specified the presence of arguments for the event, click the Add button in the Event Arguments section to specify the event arguments.
Enter a value for the argument in the Argument Value text field.
Click Next.
Click Finish to finish adding the new menu item.
