Shortcut Menus
Occasionally there is a need to highlight special programs or information at
a high navigation level than would normally be permitted by the navigation
guidelines. Special programs or information can be highlighted so that visitors
can access them with one click instead of searching for them in the menus.
The default page in a department, section, program, event, or group may have
an optional shortcut menu that appears below the main menu in the left-hand
navigation area. The shortcut menu appears in place of a
directory menu, so shortcut menus cannot be used in directories. A shortcut
menu must have between three and eight menu items.
The title of a shortcut menu is defined by the context in which it is to be
used:
- Featured Programs
- Quick Links
- Shortcuts
A shortcut menu does not provide access to additional options in a site. It
is restricted to going "down" to sections, directories, or pages that would
normally be accessed with more than one click. A shortcut menu cannot link to
other sections, departments, programs, groups or sites.
