How to Create a New Menu in the CMS

There may be times when your establishment would like to add an additional section within the tablet and mobile app in an attempt to promote or offer something new to its guests.  The tutorial below will direct you in creating that new section/menu.

 

Login to GEMS and then select the CMS option.   Note: You may have to scroll down to see the CMS option.

CMS stands for Content Management System and it determines what guests will see in the app.

Select the "Select Image" option to select one of the included images or to upload and then use one of your own images.  Note: If you opt to use one of your own images, please make sure the image is squared and at least 1024x1024 format (png or jpg).

Select the down arrow on the right side of the App Module to select the type of function the new section/menu will be.  Note: if the section/menu will lead to a web page when selected, please select "Link" from the drop down list and then insert the associated URL when prompted.  Otherwise, you will more than likely select "Custom".
