Item Display Types
The Item Display setting determines how the menu item will be displayed in the menu. There are types of menu item displays:
1. Top Level Menu Items
Top level menu items are the items that are always visible in your menu bar. The display of top level menu items cannot be changed, so this setting will have no effect on them.
2. Header Items
Header items (also called Submenu Headers or Column Headers depending on the context) are the items that appear at the top of a submenu column. Generally, they are bolder or larger to set them apart and define the group that they head.
When left on Automatic, second level menu items will become Header Items automatically. This setting allows you to override that.
3. Normal Items
Normal menu items are the items that comprise the content of a column in the submenu. Generally, they are just basic links stacked vertically.
When left on Automatic, third level menu items and deeper will become Normal Items automatically.
Most common usage
For your standard mega menu layout, you generally don’t need to adjust this setting (just leave it on Automatic).
There are two common scenarios where this settings is useful:
1. Turn a Header item into a Normal item, in the case where you don’t want column headers in your submenus.
2. Turn a Normal item into a Header item, when you are creating column headers deeper inside the menu.
