How to Create Navigation Items

Navigation Items are menu items that act as a quick links to allow event participants the ability to easily navigate the Networking Platform. Navigation Items allow you to create a customized menu side-bar that appears on the Web and Mobile App platforms. Navigation Items can be a Native List, an Email, or a Web URL.

Navigation Page - Grip Dashboard

To start, you can find the Navigation page under the Event Details menu on the Grip Dashboard.

Once you land on the Navigation page, you will notice that there are some pre-populated Navigation Items. These are the Grip standard Navigation Items that appear if the Navigation Items haven't been set up yet. These pre-populated items can be removed, edited, or reordered.

The Navigation page is broken up into two pieces by Primary and Secondary Navigation Items.

• Primary Navigation Items are going to be displayed when the Navigation menu side-bar is expanded and when the side-bar is collapsed.
• Secondary Navigation Items only display when the Navigation menu side-bar is expanded.

Navigation Items - MustMeet

When the platform is set up as a MustMeet event, the functionality of the Navigation Page slightly changes.

• The "My Must Meet List" and "My Meet List" will automatically be populated based off of the Navigation Item set up as Network > Interested. The "My No Thanks List" will automatically be populated based off of the Navigation Item set up as Network > Skipped. 
  
  
                                 
  *An information toaster will display for MustMeet events when creating/editing Navigation Items as shown above
