Menu items

Menu items is a tool for configuring navigation to external systems from the Cabinee left menu.

The feature lets administrators add links to external resources (portals, services, systems) directly in the application interface.

Items are displayed in the left menu and are available to users as buttons with a name and an icon.

Purpose

Menu items are used for:

  • integrating external systems into the Cabinee interface;
  • giving users quick access to external services;
  • configuring link display without changing code;
  • managing the display order of menu items.

Access to management

Configuration is performed in the section:

Administration (admin) → Menu items

The section displays a list of all created items.

The following attributes are available for each item:

  • Code
  • Name
