To add a new section, click the + New Section button. This will reveal a new section pane where you can define:
- Section Name: Allows you to name the section which is displayed for guests on their devices
- Description: Allows you to provide a description of the section which will be shown to guests viewing the ordering menu on their devices
- Set Schedule: Allows you to define a schedule in which a section is either visible during or not visible during (for more information on creating schedules, please refer to the Schedules documentation)
- When a section does not currently have any assigned schedules, the header section will show a Set Schedule link which, when clicked, will reveal the ability to set schedule(s). There are two application types that can be selected from:
- Show during: When this option is set, the section will be visible to guests during the assigned schedule(s) time periods
- Hide during: When this option is set, the section will not be visible to guests during the assigned schedule(s) time periods, and will only be visible outside of the time period(s)
- When a section does not currently have any assigned schedules, the header section will show a Set Schedule link which, when clicked, will reveal the ability to set schedule(s). There are two application types that can be selected from:
- Item Gallery: Each section can have one item gallery configured which can have up to 5 items which have a different visual display to guests vs regular items associated to the section. Item Galleries show items in a card-style, horizontal layout. Please refer to Menus: Configuring a Section-level Item Gallery for more information.
- Default Appearance: The Default Appearance setting controls how your section will present to guests when loading your mobile ordering menu. There are three appearance settings that can be set:
- Expanded: With this default option, sections and their items (and item gallery if enabled) will be fully expanded to guests
- Partially Expanded: With this option, items in the section will be collapsed by default (guests will be able to expand the section item list) and the section item gallery will be visible
- Collapsed: With this option, the entire section will be collapsed by default and only display the section title to guests, who can then open the section by tapping the section title
- Section Status: Allows you to identify if a section is enabled (visible to guests) or disabled (not visible to guests)
- + Add menu items: Allows you to begin adding menu items to the section. Please refer to the Menus: Adding Items and Item Groups to a Section for more information on adding items to sections.
- + Add a Group: Allows you to begin adding item groups to the section. Please refer to the Menus: Adding Items and Item Groups to a Section for more information on adding item groups to sections.
