In your employee app, you can flexibly and individually display menu items for your employees. Currently, we offer menu items based on user groups (standard) and based on channels.

For new customers, only the "User groups" option is available.

Create menu item

Here's how to create a new menu item:

• 1. Open in the Admin Console under Content → Menu items (User group).
  2. Click on + Add menu item.
  3. Select an icon, image, or emoji. If you have dark mode enabled, you can also select an image for dark mode in the next step. For optimal results, the image should be square (at least 256 × 256 pixels).
  4. Enter a name (maximum 30 characters).
     • If the translation function is enabled, you can add the name in multiple languages in the detail view after creating it.
  5. Enter the link for the menu item.
     • In addition to normal links and intranet links, emails (e.g. mailto:muster-mail@muster.de) or deeplinks can be used.
  6. Select the display options. Here you specify how the link opens on mobile devices and on desktop.
     • Mobile
       • Open in device browser: The URL opens in the device's standard browser.
       • In app (with Flip Bridge): Not recommended for most links, as not every URL is supported and display errors may occur. Only use if your in-app view needs to communicate with the Flip app via the Flip Bridge.
     • Desktop
       • Open in device browser: The URL opens in the device's standard browser.
       • In app (iFrame): The URL is embedded in the app. Some websites do not allow this. You can use the iFrame tester to check in advance whether a page can be embedded as an iFrame. This option is also suitable if the in-app view needs to communicate with the Flip app via the Flip Bridge.
  7. Select the user group for which the menu item should be visible. If the menu item should be visible to everyone, select the user group All users.
  8. Set the visibility to determine on which platforms the menu item is displayed.
  9. Decide whether the menu item should be created as enabled or disabled. Enabled means visible to authorized users. Disabled means no one can see the menu item.
  10. Click Create menu item. This opens the detail view with additional settings.
  11. After the menu item has been created and enabled, it appears in the employee app menu for all employees of the selected user group.
