• 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.

How to Menu Structure

Viewing Menu Structure

Select User Access / Menu Structure from the Settings section of the pulse menu -

Note

This is an example screen shot of the pulse menu.

Position of the menu items within pulse will vary according to available options and dependant on personal screen resolution.

or enter Menu Structure in the Quick Launch Side Menu.

This will then show the Menu Structures on the system where normal customisation of Sets can be used.

Tip

To modify the columns displayed, select on the top right of the page, then tick/untick the information you want to hide or display.


Note

iplicit delivers the menu structure as author based data which is automatically distributed with each new release.

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

  • Menu Group

  • Menu type

  • Icon: Image shown against the menu item

  • Access key: Permission

  • URL:

  • Help:

  • Keywords: Other words or common acronyms which can be used to quickly find the menu item when doing a quick launch or pulse search

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)
