Activate Smart Menu
Updated over a week ago

Smart Menu is a feature that customises the navigation on the club’s website. When activated, it only displays relevant items for the tab the user is currently in. For example, in the football tab, only football-related menu items will be shown.

This is particularly useful for multi-sport clubs, as it simplifies navigation and makes it easier for visitors to find information about specific sports.

The video below shows the difference between a regular category and a smart category. In this example, ‘Rugby’ is a regular category, while ‘Football’ is a smart category.


Frequently asked questions

I have already created one or more categories that I want to convert into smart categories. What should I do?


Unfortunately, it is not possible to change a standard category to a smart category, and it is also not possible to copy a category, page, or smart category. However, you can create a new smart category that corresponds to the original category. You can then choose to hide or delete the old category from the menu.
