MegaMenu Manager

Overview

LiveTiles Intranet Hub provides the ability for administrators to create multiple configurations for the Megamenu. Each configuration can be scoped to target URL(s) via a Regex pattern which in turn can be assigned to user(s) and user group(s) of your choice.

Enabling the MegaMenu Manager

The MegaMenu Manager functionality is behind a feature toggle. To enable you must add an enabled flag to the features object in the Global Hub Config.

"features": {
    ...
    "megaMenuManager": {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }

Accessing the MegaMenu Manager

The MegaMenu Manager is where administrators configure, add, delete, edit, target and preview multiple MegaMenu configurations. Assuming you as a user have the correct permissions, you can access the MegaMenu Manager by navigating via the Lighting Menu -> Manage Menus menu item.

Assuming you have only the default configuration in place, your Megamenu Manager will look like this..
