Set Up Tenant Menus

Menus determine how dashboards are organized on a per-user basis. Create menus that correspond to the roles of IT staff members who use CA Performance Center to monitor the physical and virtual systems of each tenant.

Important! The steps for administering tenant menus and dashboards are slightly different than the steps for performing other tenant configuration. After you set the tenant scope, you must also proxy a tenant administrator to create menus.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a tenant administrator associated with this tenant.

   Or set the tenant scope to access tenant configuration as a global administrator, and then proxy a tenant administrator associated with this tenant.

2. Select Admin, User Settings, and click Menus.

   The Manage Menus for [Tenant Name] page opens.

   The page displays the current list of menus for this tenant.

3. Click New.

   The Add Menu page opens.

4. Type a Name for the menu. This name appears in the floating menu when you click the Dashboards tab.
5. (Optional) Type a Description of the menu to help other operators identify it.
6. Select a dashboard in the Available Dashboards list.
7. Click the right arrow.

   The dashboard moves to the Selected Dashboards list.

   Use Shift + Click or Ctrl + Click to select multiple dashboards. Use the up and down arrows to change the order of the dashboards in the menu.

   Note: A maximum of 20 dashboards can be assigned to a single menu. An error message appears if you try to add more than 20 dashboards.

8. Click Save to save the new menu. Or click Save and Add Another to create more menus.

   When users associated with this tenant log in, they see the new menu on the Dashboards tab. Users associated with other tenants do not see it.
