Adding a seperate Switchboard menu

[Guest]

I have a need to add another menu to a user that only needs two items on her
menu. The present one has several items that she doesn't to be using. I came
in early this morning and made a copy of the frontend and started deleting
items and to my surprise I removed those from everyone. I now understand the
backend holds those changes. Dummy me!! I was able to replace the switchboard
items of the backend but it was apparent that I only have one Switchboard.

The switcboard gets its data from the [Switchboard Items] table. I wouldn't
recommend this as a "good" solution but a "sloppy" one is to import the
[Switchboard Items] table and make a local copy of it. Then when you change
it in your user's db, the change will be localized.

If you see yourself having to do this on a regular basis, you are better off
creating your own switchboard system which can be customized for individuals.
You could copy the [Switchboard] form and [Switchboard Items] table for
starters. I would change their names to avoid confusion and you would need
to build your own form to maintain the table since once you modify the table,
the Wizard is unlikely to work properly.
