The menu block acts as a navigation hub on your page, helping users quickly find and access related content. Each menu option automatically respects your page and block access controls, so people will only see the menu items they are permitted to access.
For example, if you include Onboarding in your menu but a user doesn’t have permission to view onboarding content, that option won’t appear for them. This ensures a cleaner, more personalized experience for every employee.
Why use menu blocks?
Menu blocks provide a structured way to connect users with the tools and resources they need:
- HR processes – Link to leave management, onboarding journeys, or performance reviews.
- Learning and development – Direct employees to skills training, learning catalogs, or certifications.
- Employee services – Provide easy access to benefits, pension providers, and document libraries.
This makes menu blocks especially useful for HR portals, manager dashboards, or any area where employees need to find multiple services in one place.
Best practices for menu blocks
- Keep it simple – Avoid overwhelming users with too many options. Group related items together logically.
- Use clear labels – Choose names that reflect the action or content, for example, “Time off” instead of “Absence.”
- Maintain consistency – Use the same icon style and naming conventions across your menus for a seamless look.
- Prioritize common tasks – Put frequently accessed items, like payslips or leave requests, at the top or in the most prominent positions.
By designing menu blocks thoughtfully, you make it easier for employees and managers to navigate the platform and complete everyday HR tasks efficiently.
