 You recognize the standard menu of CumulusUtils.
-From version 6.12 the menu runs from left to right (as before it went from right to left). Also in version 6.12 the user can only change the order of the menu items by changing the place of the item in the file.
+From version 6.12 the menu runs from left to right (as before it went from right to left).
-Future versions will have the possibility to add items to the standard menu, it will never be possible to remove items from the standard menu. Standard items can only be configured through ''cumulusutils.ini''. This page will reflect the changes.
+User items can be added  to the standard menu as is indicated above. While generating the website this menu will be incorporated. The System 1 menu will be generated in addition to System 2 (i.e. those items will be on the rightmost side of the menu)
+==== Item ====
+Any menu topic named other than the standard item will create a new, user defined, main menu dropdown. For all drop downs items can be defined as follows:
+  Item <name> <type> <destination> EndItem
+The <name> is what you will see in the menu
+The Type can be of :
+#'''External''': The URL given as destination will be opened in a new window or new tab besides CUtils
+#'''Internal''': The URL given as destination will be opened in the ReportView, the large viewport on the right side of the dashboard. It is implemented as an Iframe which is generated to the standard demands of Cutils
+#'''Report''': Any UserReport of Cutils or any other legitimate HTML/Javascript file similar to the standard reports and charts. The destination is a textfile name : ''filename.txt''
+#'''Image''': Not implemented yet
+The example in the distribution contains three example lines.
 Both files for System 1 & 2 are available in the distribution.
