one line per file, that includes fields with the table category name, component title and description, and URL link. Each field must be separated by a semi-colon to ensure the file is correctly parsed for display in the Manage Components table. The category name can be the same as an existing category or a completely new category.

The following example is the menu configuration file for the IMP Webmail component. (The IMP Webmail component is part of the Mail category in the Manage Components table.)

Mail;IMP Webmail;/mail/manage_imp.php

If the new component requires a URL that includes the hostname and cluster alias, the following keywords (Table 3) will be substituted with the appropriate value when the keywords appear in the URL that you provide in the menu configuration file:
