How to set visibility permissions for menu items

The Menu section in Cadence allows you to control which attendees can see specific menu items in your event. By configuring visibility permissions, you can create personalized navigation experiences for different user groups, ensuring attendees only see content relevant to their role or participation type.

When to use

  • When creating role-specific navigation paths
  • When limiting access to certain features based on attendee type
  • When organizing content for different departments or regions
  • When testing new menu items before making them visible to all attendees

Before you start

You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to modify menu visibility settings.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
    Navigate to your event dashboard.
    Click on "Event Setup" in the left sidebar menu.
    Select "Menu" from the submenu that appears.
    Locate the menu item you want to modify in the list.
    Click the pencil (edit) icon next to the menu item.
    Scroll down to the "Visible to" section.
    Select one of the three visibility options:
  • All (everyone can see it)
  • None (hidden from menu but accessible via direct link)
  • Specified (only visible to selected groups or attendance types)
    If choosing "Specified", select which groups or attendance types should see this menu item.
If you select both groups and attendance types with "Specified" visibility, users must meet BOTH criteria to see the menu item.
    Click "Save" to apply your visibility settings.
    Verify your changes by checking the menu item in the list.
Use the "Preview" button at the bottom of the page to see how your menu will appear to different user types.

Troubleshooting

If menu items aren't appearing for attendees after configuration, verify that:
  • The visibility settings are correctly set for the intended audience
  • The menu item is enabled (toggle switch is on)
  • Any custom pages referenced actually exist and are published
