How to move a submenu and all items under it to another parent menu in Ektron?

I use the menu tab under content. My current menu structure is as below

   MainMenu 
     Sub menu Level 2
        Submenu level 3 (1)
          item 1
          item 2 
          item 3
        Submenu level 3 (2)
          item 41
          item 5 
          item 6

What I want is as below

   MainMenu 
    Submenu Level 1
     Sub menu Level 2
        Submenu level 3 (1)
          item 1
          item 2 
          item 3
        Submenu level 3 (2)
          item 41
          item 5 
          item 6

Please note that I want to add a new submenu under MainMenu and want the previously added submenu and every thing under it to come under the new one.

There does not appear to be a way to do this through the UI interface, but it is relatively simple to do via the database.

There are two key tables for menus: menu_tbl and menu_to_item_tbl.

In the menu_tbl, find the row for the item you'd like to move. Note the mnu_id for that item. You'll probably want to export the whole menu_tbl as an excel, and refer back later as you make changes.

To move a specific menu item to another place, note that the menu item has a parent_id of the item it belongs to, and the ID of the item you want to move (it shows up in the Ektron admin).

Then you can take these steps:

1. If the item is a menu folder itself, you need to change this parent_id to point to the new parent's mnu_id in the menu_tbl table.
2. Then open the menu_to_item_tbl up and change the query to query the mnu_id of the parent by adding a "where mnu_id = ". The results should show the subitems for the parent, including the item you want to move. Change the mnu_id of the item to match the parent mnu_id as well.
