The code of the menu where the menu item is part of. |
Sort Order |
The numerical value used for sorting the items in a menu. |
Submenu |
In case the menu item has to open another menu, select here the name of the submenu. |
Function |
In case the menu item has to open another screen or report, select here the name of the function. In the screenFunctions you can indicate whether a function may be shown here. |
Role |
If the menu may only be displayed to a specific role, select this role here. This differs from the function security, because for each menu item you can define its display behavior, and not the safety of all menu items based on a function. You can base different menu items on the same function, but display the menu item only to a selected audience. In this way you can avoid confusion, however it is not a security function. |
