Step 1: Making the Media Library

Log into Drive Axle, then navigate to the App Manager (formerly known as Platform Dashboard). Hover over App Content, then click on Media Libraries in the dropdown menu.


Click Create a new library.


You will be prompted to make a name and a description for your library. These can be changed later.


You will then be able to upload new files into your media library. You can also rename your files and add new thumbnails to them. You can also edit your library name and description. Make sure to save any changes.



Step 2: Adding the Library to the Menu

Hover over App Configuration, then click on Menus in the dropdown menu.


Please choose the menu that you would like to edit. The default menu used by most apps is called Default Menu.

From here you need to decide if your media library should be directly accessed through the main menu, or if it should be accessed through a nested menu (a menu within the main menu).


Adding as a Main menu item

If you want to add your library to be accessed through the main menu in the app, scroll to the bottom of your menu options and click Add a menu item.

 

To directly access a media library, you would want to use the following settings:

  • Type: Media Library
  • Label: The name of your library
  • Icon: Whatever icon you want in the menu
  • Library: The library you created earlier.

Make sure to save any changes.


Your media library should now be live in the application and accessible via the main menu.


Adding as a nested menu item

If you want to add your library to be accessed through a nested menu, scroll to the bottom of your menu options and click Add a menu item.

To create a nested menu (a menu within the main menu), you would want to use the following settings:

  • Type: Nested Manu
  • Label: The name of your menu
  • Icon: Whatever icon you want in the menu

To add access to a media library from your nested menu, you would want to use the following settings:

  • Type: Media Library
  • Label: The name of your library
  • Icon: Whatever icon you want in the menu
  • Library: The library you created earlier.

 

Make sure to save any changes.


Your media library should now be live in the application and accessible via the nested menu.
