# Adding a New Menu Item

{% hint style="info" %}
For any **primary (top-level) menu items** in a navigation system, such as the main headings or categories, a CSS icon must also be included for it to be visible on mobile. Refer to [CTA Actions and Icons](/docs/agency-permissions/cta-actions-and-icons.md) for a list of icons available.
{% endhint %}

1. On the Employee Admin page, click on **Home & Master** and select **Menu**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/ER9a2elALQLO6OIzJthB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

2. Click the green + icon wherever you’d like to add a new menu item. For example, in the image below, we're adding a new procedure category under the Services menu item.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/ZMGjCKYzkRzMKhlRrEBY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Enter a label that makes sense for this new menu item. For example, you can use the name of the category as a label if you're setting up a new procedure category.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/lrHXHHXIQm5kbQhC6Xk6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Select the page link, then enter menu's item target.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Target Reminder:

* If the menu item opens a different website, enter **\_blank.**
* If the menu item opens to a page within the same website, enter **\_self**.
  {% endhint %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/GfZ4WtwpJoo0s4FMj1XZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Click **Create**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/MUEIvbpAEQWjsMgXpXxN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Optional: Drag and drop to reorder this as needed. In the example below, Facial Treatments are a category so it's at the same level as Alma Harmony XL PRO.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/kwXxw3ztu1QVCdVQz9JM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Optional: Click on the green + icon of your newly created item to create any sub-menu items needed.  In the example below, clicking the + icon next to Facial Treatments will create a service item.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/QWMusxATjM7Kx6oXNkKY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
