To configure qPanelMenu

1	Create a source list from AgreeYa Menu List in SharePoint. The list will contain the following fields:

•	Text - This field is mandatory. This is a single line of text field that provides the text for the menu item.

•	Menu Id - This field is mandatory. This is a single line of text field that provides the ID for the menu item.

•	Parent Menu Id - This field is mandatory. This is a single line of text field that provides the parent ID for the menu item.

•	Target Url - This field is optional. This is a single line of text field that provides the target URL for the menu item. Please note that this is not a Hyperlink field because Hyperlink field does not let you use a relative URL.

•	Target - This field is optional. This is a single line of text field that indicates where to open the target page.

Table 12. Example of Panel Menu List

Bank Project	01.02	01	MultiProjects			B	id-ID

The Panel Menu can also read any type of list that contains at least the first four fields: Text, Menu Id, Parent Menu Id, and Target Url.

 

NOTE: If the name of the fields is not specified, you must define the field name mapping in the Configuration property.

4	Add qPanelMenu to your site collection page.

5	Open ezEdit.

The Primary Content page opens by default.

6	From the Configuration section, select the source list created in SharePoint, and click OK.

7	Click Edit next to the list name.

8	For each field name, select the corresponding column name (from the source list created in SharePoint). For example, for Text Field Name, select Text; for Menu Id Field Name, select Menu Id. Click OK.

 

IMPORTANT: You must build the parent menu before building child menu. If a child menu list item references a menu ID of another list item, this list item must have been used to construct a menu.

9	If needed, configure the elements in the other tabs.

10	When done configuring each tab, click OK.
