Menus

The “Link” field defines where the menu item will navigate to when clicked in the frontend.

You can choose between two main options:

1. Pages

Link to a custom page you've created in the Pages section.
The menu item will open that specific page in the frontend.

2. Components

Alternatively, link to a built-in system component. The following modules are available:

  • Alarms – displays currently active alarms
  • Alarm History – lists historical alarms
  • Alarm Overall – overview of alarm status across multiple sources
  • Logger – shows login history and user activity

Note on the “Logger” component

In order for users to access the Logger in the frontend, two conditions must be met:

  1. First, you must create a menu entry and set its target to the “Logger” component.
    → Only then will the Logger appear in the sidebar menu.

  2. Next, you must assign the user (under Settings > Users) a role that includes the [code_block_0] permission.
    → Without this permission, the Logger remains invisible in the frontend – even if the menu is configured.

Only the combination of menu link + permission makes the Logger module both visible and accessible.
This is essential for audit trails and security-relevant applications.

When the user clicks a menu item, they are taken either to a custom page or to a system module, depending on the selected link type.
