Adding Ensembles to Menus

There are two ways to add links to your Ensembles in your Menu. One way is to simply add links ot each Ensemble separately. This method might be preferred if you have a relatively small organization with only a handful of Ensembles. If you have many Ensembles, both large and small, or varied, then you may want to create and add Ensemble Categories, and add the links to those Categories to your menu instead. This method then creates a seperate Ensemble Category page that will display thumbnails and excerpts of all Ensembles that belong to that category.
