Content

Here you can rename the feature and add categories and items.

  1. Under Screen Info, change your Screen / Feature Name or leave as-is. This is the name that will appear in the app’s feature menu (e.g. Services instead of Menu).
  2. Under Menu, click Add Category. Complete the fields below, then click Add. Repeat this process for each category.
    • Section Title to Categorize Information: Name your top-tier category (e.g. Lunch Menu or Drinks).
    • Category Name: Name your 2nd-tier category, which falls under the Section Title (e.g. Entrees or Cocktails).
  3. Back in Menu, click the category you would like to add items to, then click Add Item. Complete the fields below, then click Add. Repeat this process for each category.
    • Color Settings: Toggle on to use the app’s Global Background and Text Colors. When disabled, you can customize the item’s colors:
      • Background: Select the background color for the item.
      • Text: Select the text color for the item.
    • Description: Use the WYSIWYG editor to customize the item’s description.
    • Item Name: Give the item a name.
    • Price: Input the item’s price.
  4. Click Save at the top right when you are done.
