How Footer Menu Works

Overview

The Footer Menu is a great way to include consistent, high-priority links that your users can easily access across different parts of your app. With the App Studio - Footer Menu tool, you can organize links to essential pages like Home Screen, Tee Times, Scorecard & GPS, Message Center or other area that you want to spotlight. 

When & Why to Use Footer Menu

1. Provide easy access to must visit links
   
2. Guide users to key pages like Tee Times, Scorecard & GPS, Message Center, Rewards, or Loyalty

Step-by-Step: Designing Your Footer Menu

🔔 Before You Start

The Gallus Customer Service team typically handles initial setup. If you're starting without a Footer Menu, you can easily add one at any time. You also have the flexibility to disable the Footer Menu if you prefer to focus on your Side Menu or just the Home Screen.

The Footer Menu appears on most screens throughout the app to ensure quick access to key features. However, it is intentionally hidden on select pages to maintain a clean, focused user experience. Currently, the Footer Menu does not appear on the following pages:

1. Accounts Stats, Profile, Cards, Orders and Settings
   
2. Scorecard & GPS, Driving Range GPS, Leaderboards and Score Posting
   
3. Memberships/Subscriptions, Rewards, and Loyalty Programs 
   
4. Custom Pages
   

🌐 Step 1: Log in to Gallus Manager

1. Log in to the Gallus Manager Dashboard 

1. From the Quick Start page, click App Studio
   OR under Customize App, click Footer Menu

This will open the App Studio - Footer Menu in a new tab window. 

🧠 Step 2: Understanding Items

Items are the building "blocks" of your footer menu and link to a single pieces of content. You can add your own Items, and take advantage of Prebuilt Items to save some time. 

What are Prebuilt Items?

Look for the ⭐️ star icon — these prebuilt items are tied to specific app features. You can still customize their labels and icons giving you some control. Learn more about how Prebuilt Items work! 

What are Items?

Items are single pieces of content in your Footer Menu. They can link to an App Page, Website, Phone Number, or Email Address.

Let's break down an Item: 

Field Name	What You Can Do
Label	This is what your customers will see in your Footer Menu. Required.
Action Type	What happens when someone taps the item:  Link to App Page Link to URL Link to Tel Link to Email Required.
Icon Picker	Choose an icon that represents your item. You can search for icons or upload your own SVG. Required.

✏️ Step 3: Create Your Items

1. Add a Label
   
2. Choose the Action Type
   
3. Choose or upload your Icon 
   

Note: As soon as you create a Footer Menu item, it will be toggled on. If you're not ready to display it in your live app, simply toggle off. 

🎨 Step 4: Design & Order

1. Drag and drop items to reorder 
2. Toggle items on/off at any time
   
3. Toggle all items off to hide the Footer Menu 

Reminder: If your Footer Menu contains fewer than 3 items or more than 5 items, it will not be shown in the preview or in your live app. Please ensure you have between 3 and 5 items for the Footer Menu to display properly.
