# Menu Items

All the actions available for [menu sections](/v1/docs/menu-sections), such as renaming, hiding, changing the item order, and permissions, can be performed at the menu item level.

Follow these steps to edit menu items:

1. Click **Settings > Settings and Configuration**.
2. Select **System Settings > User Interface** in the menu panel on the left.
3. Click the **Edit** link next to **Menu Items** on the **Basic** tab to manage menu items.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img557.png)
4. The **Menu Items** list will open in datasheet view where you can easily modify all the necessary information.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img557(1).png)
5. To modify the menu item **URL** click inside the cell in the **URL** column and then the **Open hyperlink editor** button that appears. Enter the menu item page address and its short description into the **Address** and **Display text** fields respectively.

6. Type any notes to the menu item in the **Notes** column. The notes will be visible only while editing the item.
7. Specify the menu section the menu item belongs to in the **Section** column.
8. Use the **Item Order** column to manage the order in which menu items appear inside the section.
9. Select **No** or **Yes** from the drop-down list in the **Is Active** column to hide/display the menu item.
10. The **Delimiter** column was preserved for compatibility with the older versions where it indicated whether the current menu item is a delimiter separating menu items inside the section.
11. Select **Yes** from the drop-down list in the **Launching Dialog** column if you want the current menu item to appear in a dialog displaying  the menu item contents instead of opening a new page.
12. Select the check boxes corresponding to the roles that will see this menu item in the drop-down list in the **ES Roles** column.  
*Warning*Please note that when you select role, you only specify whether the menu sections are visible to the users with this role, but you do not restrict their access to the section pages. This means that anyone who knows the URL of a section page can access it. To restrict access, use **Settings > Settings and Configuration** **> System Settings > Roles and Permissions**.
13. Specify the module the menu item belongs to in the **Module** column. This menu item will be visible only to the employees who have access to this module.
14. If the current menu item is to appear as the third-level menu item, select the second-level menu item in the **Parent Menu Item** column. For example, for the **Vacations** menu item that appears under **Time and Attendance** > **Absence Lists** > **Vacations**, select **Absence Lists** as the parent menu item.
15. Use the Hide for Users field to select specific users or SharePoint groups for which the current menu item will not be visible. This field is applicable when setting up custom Lanteria HR roles.    
*Note*Please note that it is used only to hide the menu item from the menu visible to the user. To protect the pages, use the Permissions Editor (Settings > Settings and Configuration > System Settings, click Roles and Permissions).
16. Click **Stop editing this list** to exit the spreadsheet view.
