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.

- Add new link: Here you can add an external link that will appear as a page under the smart category. It directs users to a specific website, such as the club’s social media or a partner’s site.

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.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to convert a regular category into a smart category. However, you can recreate the same category as a smart category. Afterwards, you can either hide or delete the old category from the menu.

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