Add Section To Side Menu

We have successfully created a section and now we need to add this section as a link on the side menu.

Once you install the framework, you can see a side menu section. Click the side menu section and click set up to create a menu. From here you can create your menu for a dashboard, user, category or anything. Some of the fields are already inbuilt in the framework section. It is also possible to add according to the project requirements.

Click on

            side menu > Setup > Menus > Add
          

Now fill in all the fields and also choose the CRUD operations you need to be performed on this section

  ├── Menu Name : Give any name for the menu, eg: Home, Dashboard
  |
  ├──Menu Display Name : Display name can be the same name given as the menu name. Eg: Home
