How to configure default menu settings at the account level

Configuring Default Menu Settings at the Account Level

The Account-level menu settings in Cadence allow you to establish default menu configurations that will automatically apply to all newly created events in your account. By configuring these settings, you can ensure consistent navigation structures across your organization's events while reducing setup time for event administrators.

When to use

  • When standardizing navigation across multiple events
  • When implementing brand guidelines for menu structure
  • When creating templates for different event types
  • When streamlining the event creation process

Before you start

You must have System Administrator permissions to configure default menu settings at the account level.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
    Navigate to the Account administration page.
    Select your Account from the available options if you manage multiple accounts.
    Click on the "Save" tab in the top navigation menu.
    Select the "Event Menu (Default)" tab from the secondary navigation.
    Enable standard menu items by toggling them on or off.
    Reorder menu items using the drag handles (six dots) to the left of each item.
    Click the pencil (edit) icon next to any menu item to modify its settings.
    Configure visibility settings for each menu item:
  • All (everyone can see it)
  • None (hidden from menu but accessible via direct link)
  • Specified (only visible to selected groups or attendance types)
If you select both groups and attendance types with "Specified" visibility, users must meet BOTH criteria to see the menu item.
    Add custom menu items by clicking "Create Custom Menu Item" at the top of the page.
    Create nested menu structures by clicking "Create Nested Custom Item" if needed.
    Select collections to automatically include in new events by clicking the "Select Collections" button.
Only select essential collections that most events will need to avoid cluttering new events with unnecessary content.
    Click "Save" to apply your default menu settings.

Troubleshooting

If default menu settings aren't applying to new events:
  • Verify you have saved the account-level settings
  • Check that the event license type supports all enabled menu items
  • Ensure you're creating events under the correct account
