Configuring the Actions Menu
This topic provides an overview and describes how to configure the Actions menu for a small device, such as a smartphone.
The system displays the Actions menu only on the small form factor, such as smartphones. The Actions menu appears on the right side of the global header displaying three-vertical dots. Selected buttons, such as the shopping cart button, remain displayed on the global header for the small form factor device. Other buttons, such as the Home button display on the Actions menu for the small form factor device, along with the Manage Account and Sign Out button. Moving the buttons to the Action menu saves space on the global header.
If you add any custom navigation widgets to the global header, it is recommended to configure the Actions menu to display the custom navigation widgets on the small form factor device. You will need to create one header navigation widget for the small form factor and one for the larger form factors (tablets and larger).
To configure the Actions menu:
Select Navigation, Define Menu Structure, and open the Products menu.
Create a menu item in the Header Widgets (Hidden) folder for the navigation header widget that the system will display for tablets and larger devices, setting the Display property on the General tab to Medium and Over Only.
For the header navigation widget for the small form factor devices (smartphones), create a menu item in the Widget Links (Hidden) folder, setting the Display property on the General tab to Small Form Factor Only.
This menu item for the Actions menu should open the full transaction page, not a pop-up page (like the Notifications button does when hovering).
Modify the Actions menu item in the Header Widgets (Hidden) folder and add the small form factor menu item name to the RELATED_LINKS attribute.
