The Nested Menu feature in Cadence allows you to organize related menu items under a single dropdown menu, creating a cleaner navigation structure for your event. From the Menu section, you can create a parent menu item that contains multiple sub-items, helping attendees find related content more easily.
When to use
When you need to group related content under a single menu category
When you want to reduce clutter in your main navigation menu
When organizing multiple custom pages or features by topic or department
When creating specialized navigation paths for different user groups
How to do it
Navigate to your event in the Cadence admin dashboard.
Select Menu from the left navigation menu.
Click the "Create Nested Custom Item" button at the top of the page.
Enter a name for your nested menu in the "Menu Label" field.
Use clear, descriptive names that help users understand what content they'll find inside the dropdown.
Select an icon from the dropdown to visually represent your nested menu.
Set visibility by choosing who can see this 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)
Click Save to create your nested menu container.
Locate your new nested menu in the menu list.
Click the "+" button next to your nested menu to add sub-items.
Enter a name for your sub-item in the "Nested Menu Item Name" field.
Select a Navigation Type for the sub-item:
Website (external URL)
Material (document or file)
Single Collection (specific collection)
Multiple Collections (selected collections)
Company (specific company)
Single Company Group (specific company group)
Multiple Company Groups (selected company groups)
Embed Code (custom embedded content)
Custom Page (pages you've created)
Configure additional options based on your selected Navigation Type.
If you select both groups and attendance types with "Specified" visibility, users must meet BOTH criteria to see the menu item.
Click Save to add the sub-item to your nested menu.
Repeat steps 9-13 to add more sub-items as needed.
Use the drag handles (six dots) to reorder sub-items within your nested menu.
The order of sub-items in the admin interface will match how they appear to attendees in the dropdown menu.
Troubleshooting
If icons in your nested menu items are overlapping with the rearrange icon, try refreshing the page or contact support as this is a known issue that has been addressed in recent updates.
