Channels Menu Dropdown

Managing the Channels section of the menu, this guide covers the dropdown labelled Channels on the main menu.

Main menu & header

This dropdown contains a few tabs of curated channels.

There are fours tabs in this menu dropdown:

  1. Featured - all channels where Featured has been ticked.
  2. Programmes - all channels categorised as Programmes.
  3. Topics - all channels categorised as Topics.
  4. All companies - this is a link to the all channels list on the Channel Directory.

Channels dropdown

To have a channel appear on this tab, you need to make sure the Featured Channel checkbox is ticked when configuring a channel. To do this edit your channel, go to the Promotion tab, then the Featured sub tab, now tick the checkbox labelled Featured Channel.

For more information on channels take a look at our Channels guide.

Programmes & Topics

To have a channel appear under either the Programmes or Topics section you need to set the category for the respective one you'd like it to appear under.

For more information on how to set the category for a channel visit the guide for Creating a channel.

Channel Directory

The Channel Directory functions in a similar way to the Channels dropdown on the menu.

The Featured tab on the menu gets renamed to Companies on the Channel Directory (though the content may be slightly different on Insure TV). The Channel Directory tabs are managed in the same way as the channels dropdown menu. The Programmes/Programs & Topics tabs specifically display the same content as their respective sections on the Channels dropdown and are managed in the same way.

On the US/Canada site, company terms can be added to the All companies list. To make this happen, you edit the term and tick the checkbox on the Publishing tab for Channel Directory on either US, or Canada.

For more information on how to set the category for a channel visit the guide for Creating a channel.

Accessing the Channel Directory

The Channel Directory is only directly accessible via the Channels dropdown using the All Companies link. The Channel Directory links under each section in the dropdown have been removed as the content is the same as what is in the dropdown and it avoids obvious duplication.
