Requiring a menu item in a menu group for all locations

Note

To mark items as required, you must have the Edit Full Menu permission for the location or location group the menu group applies to.

When an item is marked as required, the location or location group assigned to the menu group automatically includes the required item. Required items cannot be removed when creating or editing a custom item list.

Here is an example of the All items table before an item is required. The Used by column shows how many locations are currently using this menu item.

Here is an example of the All items table after an item is marked as required. The Used by column reflects that all locations now use the menu item. You cannot use the remove icon while the menu item is required.

Here is an example of how a required item appears when adding or editing a custom item list. The item is marked by a red asterisk and you can no longer remove the item.
