Menus are how you create a flow through your site so people can find things. Menu are created in the Menu Manager in the administration back-end. You can have multiple menus in your site and you can create new menus.

The primary menu is called the "main menu" and it is the one you see on the left in the default UNC install. To add items to this menu, you go to the Menu manager, then click on Main Menu. Clicking new gets you a page with a lot of choices for what you are adding.

You can easily link to sections, categories, or individual content items that are in your site. You can also link to things that are not in your site from here as well.

For sections and categories there are 2 different styles you can create a new menu link with: blog and table. The blog style shows the intro text for articles and can be configured to show those in 1,2 or multiple columns and you can decide how many articles to show.

Tabke style produces a list of things in that section or category. For a section table it lists all the categories in that section, for a category table it lists all the content in that category. For example, the Help section of this site was set up as a Section Table. We then turned off the sorting lists, table column names, author info, etc. and allowed the category description to be displayed.This produces an easy to read and navigate list of categories that then take you to content items with descriptive titles.
