Custom Menu bars

I have several custom views I have added to the menu bars. Unfortunately, this stings out the menu bars beyond the field of view and creating a lot of white space on the standard views (ex. overview, Top10, etc.) and can be easily overlooked and not realized they are there. One is required to use the horizontal scroll bar to see the newly added custom views on the right-end of the menu bar. Has anyone made any customizations to the web pages to force a menu bar to wrap to another row or knows how to take a custom menu bar and insert (display) it under the standard menu bar?

Generally it's best to keep the menu bar short enough to fit on the page without scrolling.

You should be able to get all the info you need by "nesting" it under just a few menu bar items.
I just add multiple items to one view, and/or make this view open in a new page.

Thanks for your input, NG! I'll take your advise and work on adding to existing views. -RGW

Were you actually able to make submenus? As an example, I would like to put the multiple areas of my network under one main menu item called region. Were you able to do this? I wasn't quite clear on your post.

It's not really a submenu per se.
I just create a page with 3 columns.
Each column can have multiple items.

For instance, I have one item on the Menubar called 'Links'
It opens a new page which has 3 columns. One for Western devices, another for Eastern devices & one with links to other Solarwinds tools, such as Port Maps & IP address Management exported to HTML.

Another Menu item called "reports" take me to another 3 column page, with different report types in each column (Availability in one, Utilization in another & Inventory & Current status reports in the 3rd).

My main point was that you don't have to add every new web view you create to the Main Menu bar, but add them to existing views.
