Tour Menu

The Tour Menu can be used to add shortcuts to one or more "hero" posts in the tour. It can be the first post in the tour (the "Home" post), one or more floor plans or any other post that you deem important for the tour navigation. The latter category may include, for example, a lobby in a hotel, an entrance to a store or the main living room in a house or a condo.

If there are any posts added to the menu, you will see the menu icon similar to the one on the screenshot below. You can also see it live in this demo tour.

Editing the menu

To edit the menu, go to the Edit tour section and click on the Menu tab on the top of the screen. This will open the menu editor where you can add or remove items from the menu, change their order, and customize the menu icon and label.

The menu editor consists of two sections: the list of menu items on the left and the menu style settings on the right:

The above menu editor setup will result in the following menu in the tour:

You can also see it live in this demo tour. Please also check this tour for some more examples of how the menu can be used.

Editing menu items

The list on the left shows all the items that are currently in the menu. You can remove any of them by clicking on the trash icon. You can also change the order of the items in the menu by dragging and dropping them in the list.

To add a new item, click on the Add menu item button at the top of the list. You can add the following types of items to the menu:

• Post link to a post in the tour. When the user clicks on it, they will be taken to that post.
• Link this can be a link to a website, an email or a phone/Whatsapp number. You can choose whether the link opens in a new tab or the same tab and also give it a look of a button.
• Heading a non-clickable item that can be used to group other items in the menu. For example, you can use it to create a section for floor plans in the menu.
• Separator a non-clickable item that can be used to separate different sections in the menu. It is displayed as a horizontal line in the menu.

Once you add at least one item to the menu, the menu button will be shown in the tour in the bottom left corner of the screen above the thumbnail bar. If you remove all items, the menu button will disappear.

The map/pin button next to the menu button is setup and managed separastelyt using the location features covered in this article.

Customizing the menu icon and label

On the right side of the screen, under "Settings and design" you can select one of the five available icons: Floor plan, Folded map, Menu, Home & Shortcut.

You can also add a label for the icon, which will show when the user hovers over it. If you do not set a label, a default label will be used depending on the icon you selected.

Alternative way to add posts to the menu

You can also add a post to the menu by going to the Edit tour section and checking the Add to menu button on each post that you want to add to the menu. If the button is green, the post will be added to the menu. The posts will be added to the end of the menu in the order they are selected. If you later go to the Menu tab, you can change the order.

The red icon next to the "Add to menu" button allows you to hide the post from the thumbnail view. It is not related to the menu button that is next to it, but they can be used together. For example, you can hide a post from the bar and show it only in the menu. For more information, please refer to the Tour Settings tutorial.
