The Side Menu gives you the flexibility to include additional navigation to your app β or keep things streamlined by turning it off entirely. With the
App Studio β Side Menu tool, you can add helpful links like Policies, Contact Info, About Us, and more β or disable the side menu if you'd prefer to focus attention on the
Home Screen and
Footer Menu.
- Share extra information that doesn't belong front and center on your home screen
- Keep your app layout clean while still offering quick access to key information and content
- Provide a minimalist experience by hiding the menu entirely (just toggle all items off)

What to Expect
With the Side Menu builder, you'll be able to:
- Design your side menu layout using Items
- Create, edit, delete or reorder Items
- Enable Prebuilt Items that connect to app specific features
- Preview your app layout as you build
π Before You Start
Heads Up: Some apps launch without a Side Menu β and thatβs perfectly fine! But if you'd like to include extra details that donβt quite fit on your Home Screen (like course policies or FAQs), you can easily build out your Side Menu using the layout builder.
- From the Quick Start page, click App Studio
OR under Customize App, click Side Menu
This will open the App Studio - Side Menu in a new tab window.
π§ Step 2: Understanding Items
Items are the building "blocks" of your side menu and link to 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
βοΈ star icon β these prebuilt items are tied to specific app features. You can still customize their labels and visibility giving you some control.

What are Items?
Items are single pieces of content in your Side 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 Side 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. |
|
Start Date / End Date | Set when the item appears (and when it disappears). Optional. |
Audience | Choose who sees the item:
- All users
- Logged-in users
- Custom segments created in CRM
