# Menu & Navigation in ONEWEB

ONEWEB follows a hierarchical navigational structure. Using ONEWEB you can link entities or pages to your application using the **Menu Configuration** screen.

Select the hierarchical position of your menu item and click on the icon. It opens the **Menu Properties** screen.
