ESC - adding links to the header menu

Jack62 — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 12:41:39 GMT

Afternoon all

I am trying to add in some additional links to the top right of the header menu which has always been available however when the header menu is in ESC it adds them to the mega menu structure instead of the header?? As per the screenshot below, I need quick links to be next to My tasks. When I add this to a header on a normal portal page (ESC) it works fine. What has changed?

You could revert your main menu to the SP Header Menu via the portal configuration record.

Though I do not know the requirements. If you need to continue using the Employee Taxonomy and Mega Menu, then your only option is to clone the Employee Center Header Widget in the Portal Theme Record and add your links in the HTML where needed. What has changed you ask? Mostly it is configuration. When you flip between the SP portal record and the Employee Center portal record and their Themes, you can see what I mean. True, the Header widgets and Header Menu widgets between SP and Employee Center are built differently. Though even the Employee Service Center used a similar structure in its HRM Header Menu and ESC Header widgets. Cheers!

Sandeep's response is better than mine. Forgot that you can use "More" to add links in the top right of the header menu. Cheers!

You need to add it to the "More" menu item
