How to create a consistent menu experience across multiple events
The Menu section in Cadence allows you to establish standardized navigation structures across your organization's events. By configuring default menu settings at the account level and duplicating successful menu structures, you can ensure a consistent user experience while saving time on repetitive configuration tasks.
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
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.
Test your configuration by creating a new event and verifying that your default menu structure appears correctly.
For existing events, navigate to the Menu section and click "Options" > "Copy from another event" to duplicate successful menu structures.
Select the source event with your preferred menu configuration.
Review the menu items that will be copied in the preview section.
Click "Copy" to duplicate the selected menu structure to your target event.
