# Displaying fields from a Menu

{% hint style="info" %}
In WordPress, Menus can also have custom fields - usually created with ACF, MetaBox, or Pods. Advanced Views allows you to display them.
{% endhint %}

In Advanced Views, [*Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md) embedding happens using native WordPress shortcodes. Each *Layout* has its own unique shortcode that can be pasted into any location, regardless of the theme, editor, or page builder you're using. 

Shortcodes also support arguments, allowing you to customize the behavior of the same entity in different contexts.

## 1. How to display fields of a specific Menu

1. [Create a new *Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md)
2. Add any fields
3. Save the *Layout*, copy its [embedding shortcode](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md)
4. Add the `object-id="menu"` argument
5. Optionally. Add the `menu-slug="YOUR_SLUG"`  
6. Embed *Layout*: paste the shortcode inside the target place

#### Shortcode format

To load fields from the options page, the *Layout* shortcode should contain at least 4 arguments:

```bbcode
[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="menu" menu-slug="YOUR_SLUG"]
```

1. `name` argument - used for clarification purposes only and doesn't play any functional role. 
2. `id` argument - associates the shortcode with a specific *Layout*.
3. `object-id` argument - with `menu` value 
4. `menu-slug` - specifies the menu slug whose fields should be displayed. 

{% hint style="success" %}
You can also use the common [*Layout* shortcode arguments](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md) to additionally customize this *Layout* embedding, e.g., limiting its visibility for specific user roles.
