• The menu structure is used to group related menu items together in a Menu group.

  • Each Menu item has a specific access permission associated to it (e.g. purchaseinvoice.read) so if the User does not have this permission, they will not see the menu item.

It is also possible for the Customer to create their own User defined menu items

  • Menu items relate to a form (AKA finder, e.g. Purchase invoices), enquiry (e.g. Trial Balance), record (AKA editor, e.g. Legal Entity A, tool (e.g. enquiry designer), report or dashboard.

  • Menu items are grouped using Menu groups.

    • Caption: Menu item description.
    • Alternative caption: Quick launch alternative description.

User Defined menu items

  • User defined menu items (UDMI) (AKA Non author menu items) can be created within Customer environments

  • Common use of a UDMI is to make enquiries available as a menu item

  • To create your own menu, create a new menu item, following the guidance in menu items above.

  • To add an enquiry, you must concatenate "/enquiry/json/" to the enquiry unique identifier

  • NB. The "?analytics="GeneralLedger" is optional and will add the enquiry to this group in the enquiries finder

There are three menu types:

  • Default (i.e. shown on main menu)
  • Settings (i.e. setup / static data menu items)
  • Other (items in this option are available via quick launch) search but not shown on the menus or in the pulse)
