About the Menu Portlet
A Menu portlet presents links to portal pages on the simplified interface. The links display as large buttons with icons and labels.
NOTE: If you use blank pages in your portlet structure as a way to organize your portal, clicking a menu portlet link skips the blank pages and brings you to the first page that contains content.
In the following example:
- The Home page is considered blank because it does not contain portlet data. It merely contains other pages, including Executive Dashboard, Current, and Inpatient. These top-level pages appear as buttons on the home page menu portlet.
- Of those three, the Current page is a blank page that contains Today, Yesterday, and Month pages.
- Each one of those three has a page called Current that contains portlets.
In this case, if you click Current on the home page 
menu portlet, DivePort skips over the blank pages and opens the first page that holds content: Current > Today > Current.
NOTE: Menu portlets typically take up the entire page, and they cannot be resized. However, you can move their position when you use a manual or one-column page layout. This allows you to customize the look of the page.
If the menu button links to a local URL, clicking the button opens the link in the same tab. A URL is considered local if it starts with the same context path ("/diveport") or the same origin and context path ("https://host.example.com/diveport").
