Application Menu / Properties


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> System -> General Settings -> Application Menu Selection -> Edit Custom Menus option -> Application Menu / Properties

This utility can be used to manage and build custom menus.

The 'menu selection pop-up' and 'properties' windows displayed above include the following prompts:

MENU
This field applies only to custom menus.
e.g. CMM:0004 General Ledger: Additional Options

This prompt is only displayed in the select Application Menu window when triggered on first accessing the Application Menu Maintenance, or if the operator clicks the SELECT MENU button at the top right of the MENU MAINTENANCE (right) panel in the Application Menu Maintenance screen, to allow a custom menu to be selected to populate the right panel of the screen.

This prompt is not displayed in the Properties window.

In Add mode enter a new custom menu code, or in Change mode enter the existing custom menu code to be modified or select one from the Menu Search window.
Only custom menus are listed in the search window, as standard menus cannot be changed.

Note: If a custom menu has been defined as the default Company Menu, it can be pulled up by entering a + (plus sign) in this field.


FUNCTION
This prompt only appears when the Properties window is triggered for a menu or menu option by highlighting the option in the tree on the MENU MAINTENANCE (right) panel and then clicking the PROPERTIES button.
It is display only and shows the program name of the function.
N/A is displayed for menus as a function does not apply.

DESCRIPTION
Enter the menu name as it is to be displayed on the Navigation button, or if this is a sub-menu or menu option enter the name to be displayed in the menu tree.

QUICK LAUNCH
Enter the Quick Launch code that can be used to pull up the custom menu from the Main Menu of Texada SRM.

Note: Quick Launch codes are assigned by Texada Software to the standard SRM menus and options.
This enables legacy Menu Option codes (e.g. AP01, CO11, SM2001) from earlier versions of the software to still be used, as set in Custom Function Parameters.
In event of a conflict, Quick Launch codes over-ride any legacy codes.


COMPANY MENU
This prompt is only displayed if the select Application Menu window was triggered on first accessing the Application Menu Maintenance, or if the operator clicks the SELECT MENU button at the top right of the MENU MAINTENANCE (right) panel in the Application Menu Maintenance screen.

Check this box if this menu should be the default start menu for operators in this company that do not have a preferred start menu assigned in the Default Sign-On Menu field of Operators.

Uncheck this box if this menu should not be the default start menu.

Note: If this box is checked for more than one menu, then the last menu checked is applied, and must be "unchecked" again to return to the last "Company Menu" selection.
