==== 01 - Add Custom Menu

Scenario:
Assume you need to add a custom menu for BSc - IT courses. "BSc - IT" is the main menu, with two submenus: "Semester 01" and "Semester 02". "Semester 01" has two subjects: "Networking" and "Software Engineering".


===== Steps to Add a Custom Menu in Moodle:

1. **Log in to Moodle**:
   - Access Moodle with administrative privileges using your credentials.

2. **Access Site Administration**:
   - Navigate to "Site administration" in the top-right corner of the page.

3. **Navigate to Appearance Settings**:
   - Under "Site administration," click on the "Appearance" tab.
   - Select "Theme settings" or "Theme" depending on your Moodle version.

4. **Configure Custom Menu Items**:
   - In the "Theme settings" section, locate the "Custom menu items" box.

5. **Add Main Menu and Submenus**:
   - Enter the menu structure using a specific format to denote main menus and submenus. For this scenario, use the following format:

    
{{{

     BSc - IT|# 
     - Semester 01|#
     -- Networking| Put here to URL # (network)
     -- Software Engineering| Put here to URL #(SE)
     - Semester 02|
     
}}}


     
6. **Save Changes**:
   - Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save changes" button to apply the new custom menu.

7. **Verify Custom Menu**:
   - Go to the main page of your Moodle site to verify that the new custom menu appears as expected.
   - Hover over the "BSc - IT" menu to see the submenus for "Semester 01" and "Semester 02", and verify that "Networking" and "Software Engineering" appear under "Semester 01" with the correct links.

By following these steps, you will have created a custom menu for BSc - IT courses with the specified structure, making it easier for users to navigate to the relevant courses.
