Hi @ammar_k ,

Menu Options "" are coming from header widget "employee-center-header". You can create copy of that widget and make changes to add new menu link.

Check the attached screenshot of widget, it has ${My Tasks}, ${My Requests}", "${My Favorites}" menu links.

If my response helped please select helped or correct option.

Thanks,

Swamy

@ammar_k - You can use the menu items to configure the additional menu.

Navigate to the Portal and Open the Main menu configured for the portal then in the related list of the Menu instance, add the menu items as required.

Thanks & Regards,

Go to "sp_instance_menu" table and search for the menu item used in ESC portal, OOB it should be "Employee Center Menu".

Under "Menu Items" related list , create a new record, provide the label of your choice and type as URL.

Add the "Href/Url" as per your requirement and save the record.

Note : You may need to relogin to see the changes.

Hi @ammar_k ,

You can add menu items via the Main Menu > Menu Items related list under Portal Configuration for Employee Center, and you can also use the taxonomy topics (and Advanced Portal Navigation) to include items there....

However, oob ServiceNow does not allow adding new items to the very top navigation bar (beside or alongside My Requests / Approvals) except via the More menu or by customizing the header widget/template....

Hi @ammar_k

Go to Service Portal --> Menus and find the menu where Title is "Employee Center Menu".

In the "Menu items" related list you can create new record to create menu item with url type.
