By now you may have noticed that your menu ordering system has been upgraded.

How it works
The new system is a “drag and drop” system; meaning all you need to do is use your mouse to click on a page and drag it to where you want it to be.

Why the change?
We identified the ordering of your website menu as a key activity that we could develop to be easier and faster for you to use.

The change has been several months in development and uses the latest technology. We are pleased to congratulate you on being one of our first customers to benefit from this new system, which is just one of a number of changes we are currently working on to improve your website management experience.

Ordering my website pages

Expanding and collapsing
These buttons effect what you see while you are re-ordering your menu.
You can choose to see ALL available files by clicking “Expand…” or just see the one’s on the base level of your menu by clicking “Collapse…”

Menu items with sub-pages are indicated by a small triangle on their left. Clicking on the triangle allows you to expand or collapse the item as illustrated below:

Moving pages around
Moving pages around is easy.
Simply locate the page you want to move, hold down the left click on your mouse and drag it to where you want to relocate it. You will notice a “thin blue line” showing you where your page will be positioned once you release your mouse.

While dragging a page, a green tick (or red cross) indicates whether the page can be moved to your target destination.

The best way to become familiar with moving pages around is to get in and have a go! – you won’t break anything, and your changes only save when you hit “SAVE”!


The example above illustrates the “web blog” page being moved from below “online shops” to between the “site re-design” and “maintenance” pages.

Archived pages, off-menu pages, and saving
A final few things worth a mention – to help you get the most from the new system…
Archived pages are listed in grey italics (these pages of course don’t display on your live website) e.g. NEW ZEALAND in the example below.

Your website may have a restriction on the number of base menu items (for example if you have a horizontal menu, this might only fix X number of menu pages). When this limit is exceeded this will be indicated by a dotted line and live pages that won’t display are grey e.g. CONTACT in the example below.

Finally, once you are happy with your changes, click the big green SAVE button! – or if you’re not happy, simply leave the manage menu order screen and your changes won’t be saved.

Enjoy!
