The display menu.properties file specifies the labels that the EPM displays to the end user.

In an ASCII text editor, open the display menu.properties file in the TomcatHome/lib/extensions/UniqueDirectoryName/messages directory.

Where, TomcatHome is the directory in which the Tomcat servlet engine software is installed and UniqueDirectoryName is the directory defined in Defining a unique extensions directory. The default is /opt/Tomcat/tomcat
Add a section for each menu group that you added to the configuration menu.xml file.
```
myMenuGroup=groupDisplayText
myMenuItem=itemDisplayText
```
Where:
- myMenuGroup is the menu group identifier specified in the menu.xml configuration file.
- myMenuItem is the menu item identifier specified in the menu.xml configuration file.
- groupDisplayText is the group label that Experience Portal displays in the EPM main menu.
- itemDisplayText is the item label that Experience Portal displays in the EPM main menu.
Save and close the file.

For example:

myMenuGroup=My Menu Group
myUsersItem=Users
myAdminItem=Administrator
myUserMgrItem=User Manager
