Adding right side menus

In addition to having a drop down header menus, a smart thing to have on your departmental website is to have right side menus that correspond to additional content contained within each section - this is especially useful in sections that have multiple subpages within a section (i.e. Academics/Undergraduate/Admissions/Calendars).

A typical right side menu can be found on this page: http://complit.ucla.edu/undergraduate.

The person who developed the website for your department will have to have enabled this feature to appear - once done, you can easily add right side menus that correspond to both your dropdown header menus and the subsections that are contained within each page.

1. With each page you create within a certain menu section (i.e. Academics/Undergraduate/Advising), visit the edit function of this page within dashboard. 
2. On the right side, about half down the page, will be a box that says "MENU SELECT."
3. Simply select the menu you want to appear on the right side of the page - please note that the menu select corresponds exactly to the menu that you created within the Appearance/Menu section of dashboard (i.e About, Academics) - however you structured that menu within the Appearance/Menu section will determine how the menu functions on the right side of the page (a good example here: http://complit.ucla.edu/graduate/).
4. Ensure that you select PUBLISH on each page you add a right menu to ensure it appears.
