Menus
There are different menu types in Intrexx that allow portal content to be displayed in a structured manner and easily accessed. Menus are elements that you can access, like all other Layout elements, in the "Elements" area. Menus can be arranged in containers or in responsive grid columns in the layout.
If a menu already exists in a layout, it can usually be found at the top left in the "Layout" area under Container Header / Grid Header / "Menu" column. If you open the structure up to this point, you will see the click-down menu there and, if it is selected, you can edit its element settings in the right-hand area.
If you want to use a different menu, delete the existing menu in the "Layout" area by choosing "Delete" from the context menu. Then the desired menu can be created again in the same place ("Menu column"). To do this, simply drag and drop the menu from the "Elements" panel to this location in the layout structure.
Alternatively, the new menu can also be created via the context menu "Insert sub-element / Menus" in the "Layout" area in the "Menu" column.
Flat menu
A flat menu can only show one level (arranged horizontally or vertically). On which level the display begins depends on how it is linked to other menus. This is defined in the element settings.
If you are creating a new flat menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area to the Layout structure, or by double clicking on the current flat menu, the properties dialog is opened.

Vertical menu
A vertical menu can be implemented if you require a menu item presentation that saves space, e.g. for mobile devices. This menu type behaves responsively meaning that it adjusts itself accordingly to the various display sizes. The distance between the 
Start symbol and the menu items can be specified using the "top" and "left" properties of the #Container_Menu_Dropline .menuopenclose selector.
Information about the element settings can be found here.
If you are creating a new vertical menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area to the Layout structure, or by double clicking on the current vertical menu, the properties dialog is opened.

Include functions from custommenu.js
Integrates the file "custommenu.js" from the portal directory external/htmlroot/include/custom in which additional JavaScript actions can be specified for when the user clicks on the menu.
Row menu
In the Row menu, the menu items of all levels are depicted horizontally in the same format. It can be implemented if you require a menu item presentation that saves space, e.g. for mobile devices. This menu type behaves responsively, simply meaning that the Start symbol is shown in smaller display sizes. The menu items can be opened by clicking on that link.
Information about the element settings can be found here.
For more detailed information on the properties of this menu, see the description of the Vertical menu.
Block menu
In the Block menu, the menu items of the first level are depicted horizontally, the rest are depicted vertically. It can be implemented if you require a menu item presentation that saves space, e.g. for mobile devices. This menu type behaves responsively, simply meaning that the Start symbol is shown in smaller display sizes. The menu items can be opened by clicking on that link.
Information about the element settings can be found here.
For more detailed information on the properties of this menu, see the description of the Vertical menu.
Mega menu
In the element settings of the mega menu, you can define the number of levels and also how the application menu is appended. In principle, the structure of the mega menu corresponds to the structure of the block menu. The following selectors have been added to the block menu for this purpose:
Selector block 1:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level3.list
Selector block 2:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level3.list
The behavior in this case differs as follows.
Selector block 1:
A menu level (0,1,2 or 3) in the open state, i.e. the parent menu level has been explicitly clicked.
Selector block 2:
A menu level (0, 1, 2 or 3) when it is closed, meaning the menu level above was not specifically selected.
The selectors respond to the "ul" of the respective level. This makes it possible to display and style menu levels as desired, regardless of the status of the parent menu level (clicked / unclicked).
Information about the element settings can be found here.
For more detailed information on the properties of this menu, see the description of the Vertical menu.
Drop-down menu
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu (arranged horizontally or vertically) And popouts that contain the subordinate menu items. The drop-down menu is responsive and therefore automatically adapts to SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE screen sizes.
Information about the element settings can be found here.
For more detailed information on the properties of this menu, see the description of the Vertical menu.
Tree menu
In the element settings of the tree menu, you can define the number of levels and also how the application menu is appended. For the tree menu, a responsive grid layout with a border in the right area is needed. In this case, two containers should be placed next to each other. The menu is placed in the left container and the stage container in the right one.
All information on the settings in the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Drop-down menu (Alt)
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu (arranged horizontally or vertically) And popouts that contain the subordinate menu items. If you are creating a new drop-down menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area to the Layout structure, or by double clicking on the current drop-down menu, the properties dialog is opened.
