= Customizing the sidebar menu items for your {product-short} instance

The sidebar menu in {product} consists of two main parts:
The sidebar menu in {product} consists of two main parts that you can configure:

* *Main menu items*: These items are the static menu items that form the core navigation structure of sidebar. These menu items remain consistent and are predefined.
Dynamic plugin menu items:: Your preferences and your active plugins define dynamically one part of the sidebar menu.
Main menu items:: The core navigation structure of sidebar is static.

* *Dynamic plugin menu items*: These items are displayed beneath the main menu and can be customized based on the plugins installed. The main menu items section is dynamic and can change based on your preferences and installed plugins.

.Procedure

. Customize the main menu items using the following steps:
+
--
.. Open the `app-config-rhdh.yaml` file.
.. To customize the order and parent-child relationships for the main menu items, use the `dynamicPlugins.frontend.default.main-menu-items.menuItems` field.
.. For dynamic plugin menu items, use the `dynamicPlugins.frontend.<package_name>.menuItems` field.

.Example `app-config-rhdh.yaml` file
.Default static menu item configuration

You can modify the fields in the previous example to configure the desired order and parent-child relationships of the sidebar menu items.

<1> This attribute represents a unique name in the main sidebar navigation. It can denote either a standalone menu item or a parent menu item. If this attribute represents a plugin menu item, the name of the attribute must match with the corresponding path in `dynamicRoutes`. For example, if `dynamicRoutes` defines `path: /my-plugin`, then `menu_item_name` must be defined as `my-plugin`.
+
For more complex, multi-segment paths such as `path: /metrics/users/info`, the `menu_item_name` must use dot notation to represent the full path, for example, `metrics.users.info`. Trailing and leading slashes in paths are ignored. For example, `path: /docs` results in `menu_item_name: docs`, and `path: /metrics/users` results in `menu_item_name: metrics.users`.
.Procedure

<2> This optional attribute specifies the icon for the menu item. You can use default icons or extend the icon set with dynamic plugins. {product-short} also provides additional icons in its internal library, such as:
. To configure a dynamic plugin menu item, update the `menuItems` section of your _<plugin_name>_ plugin to your `{my-app-config-file}` file. For example:
+
.Home Icon in the internal library
[source, yaml]
[source,yaml]
----
dynamicPlugins:
frontend:
<package_name>:
_<plugin_name>_: # <1>
menuItems:
<menu_item_name>:
icon: home
<menu_item_name>: # <2>
icon: # home | group | category | extension | school | _<my_icon>_ # <3>
title: _<plugin_page_title>_ # <4>
priority: 10 # <5>
parent: favorites # <6>
----
+
Similarly, the internal library includes icons for `group`, `category`, `extension`, and `school`. If the icon is already defined in the `dynamicRoutes` configuration under `menuItem.icon`, it can be removed from the in the `menuItems` configuration. Also, both SVG and HTML image icons are supported. For example:
+
.Example SVG icon
[source,html]
----
icon: <svg width="20px" height="20px" viewBox="0 0 512 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="#ffffff">...</svg>
----
+
.Example image icon
[source,html]
----
icon: https://img.icons8.com/ios-glyphs/20/FFFFFF/shop.png
----

<3> This optional attribute specifies the title of the menu item. It can be removed if the title is already specified in the `dynamicRoutes` configuration under `menuItem.text`.

<4> This optional attribute sets the order in which menu items appear in the sidebar. The default priority is 0, which places the item at the bottom of the list. A higher priority value places the item higher in the sidebar. You can define this attribute for each section.

<5> This optional attribute specifies the parent menu item under which the current item is nested. If this attribute is used, the parent menu item must be defined elsewhere in the `menuItems` configuration of any enabled plugin. You can define this attribute for each section.
<1> `_<plugin_name>_`: Enter the plugin name. This name is the same as the `scalprum.name` key in the `package.json` file.
<2> `_<menu_item_name>_`: Enter a unique name in the main sidebar navigation for either a standalone menu item or a parent menu item. If this field specifies a plugin menu item, the name of the menu item must match the name using in the corresponding path in `dynamicRoutes`. For example, if `dynamicRoutes` defines `path: /my-plugin`, then `menu_item_name` must be defined as `my-plugin`.
<3> `icon`: (Optional) Enter the icon name. You can use any of the following icons:
* Default icons, such as `home`, `group`, `category`, `extension`, and `school`. To use default icons, set the icon as an (`" "`) empty string.
* A custom icon, where _<my_icon>_ specifies the name of your custom icon
* An SVG icon, such as: `icon: <svg width="20px" height="20px" viewBox="0 0 512 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="#ffffff">...</svg>`
* An HTML image, such as: `icon: https://img.icons8.com/ios-glyphs/20/FFFFFF/shop.png`
<4> `title`: (Optional) Enter the menu item title. Omit it when the title is already specified in the `dynamicRoutes` configuration under `menuItem.text`. To hide the title from the sidebar, set the title as an (`" "`) empty string.
// Update <4> for release 1.6 as this option (currently a workaround) would be added as a functionality. RHIDP-6333.
<5> `priority`: (Optional) Sets the order in which menu items appear in the sidebar. The default priority is 0, which places the item at the bottom of the list. A higher priority value places the item higher in the sidebar. You can define this field for each section.
<6> `parent`: (Optional) Enter the parent menu item under which the current item is nested. If this field is used, the parent menu item must be defined elsewhere in the `menuItems` configuration of any enabled plugin. You can define this field for each section.

<10> `priority`: (Optional) Enter the order of this menu item within its menu level.


<1> The `default.` prefix identifies an item as a main menu item. You can add the `default.` prefix to both individual menu items or parent menu group configuration, such as `default.<menu_group_parent_item_name>` in the previous example.

[NOTE]
====
The default priority of main menu items determines their order in the sidebar. You can customize the order of the static main menu items by adjusting their priority values. Ensure that the priority and title of each item is clear to facilitate easy reordering.
