Combo Menu Item - Site Availability
- Rose Eliff (Unlicensed)
Summary
A menu item can be made active or inactive on individual sites. If inactive, the menu item will not appear at the specified site. It will still appear in ECM at the site level but marked as inactive.
A menu item can be marked Exclude. When it is excluded from a site, the item cannot be seen in ECM at the site level and will not appear on the app at the specified site.
Configuration
There are several ways to configure a menu item at the site level:
Setting | ECM | App |
|---|---|---|
Active | Can be seen in ECM for a specified site Marked Active | Appears on the app Can be ordered |
Not Active | Can be seen in ECM for a specified site Not marked Active | Does not appear on the app Cannot be ordered |
Exclude | Cannot be seen in ECM for a specified site | Does not appear on the app Cannot be ordered |
Active
An account can have an item available for purchase at specific sites and not available at other specific sites.
To make the item active at the site level on the Site Availability page:
Select the Active checkbox for the desired site(s)
Click Save Changes for the site availability page, then click Save at the bottom of the page to save the change for the menu item
Verify the site setting
On the Menu Items page, select the site and then edit the menu item
The item will be marked Active at the site-level view and will be available for purchase on the app
Not Active
If the menu item is not marked Active at the site level, it will continue to appear in the list of menu items for the site on the menu items page
When the menu item is selected at the site level, it will show as not active
To reset the item to inherit the global setting, click Reset
Item takes the global setting and displays (Inherited) to indicate it is using the global, not the site-specific, setting
Exclude
When a menu item is marked Exclude from a site or sites, the menu item can no longer be seen in ECM at the site level and is unavailable for purchase at the specified sites. (It can still be seen globally.)
Excluding items from a site can be useful when a site has a number of inactive items. The inactive items are excluded from the view and the user only sees the items that are active, improving speed and ease of use.
To exclude an item on the Site Availability page:
Select the Exclude checkbox for the desired site(s)
Click Save Changes for the site availability page, then click Save at the bottom of the page to save the change for the menu item
Verify the site setting
On the Menu Items page, select the site; the page will refresh and the menu item will no longer appear in the list of menu items. (It is excluded.)
To no longer exclude the item from the site, go to the menu item's global setting then the Site Availability tab
Uncheck the Exclude checkbox for the specified site
Click Save Changes, then click Save at the bottom of the page
