Additional Menu Options


Menu Tree -> Any Menu -> Additional Menu Options

There are many additional maintenance options and utilities that are not included on the standard menu tree, as they are either used rarely, are only suitable in unique situations, or may be custom.
If your firm requires regular use of one of these programs it can be added to one of the Additional Options menu, which then appears in the standard menu tree under the appropriate menu category.
Options added by your firm to one of the Additional Options menus are not lost when a software update is installed.

To add an option to one of the Additional Options menu, use the Application Menu Maintenance option to as follows:

  1. Select Application Menu option from the System tab of Configure System Settings.
    Only operators assigned one of the Security Roles that allows permission to the System - Application Menu can access this table.
  2. In the Application Menu selection pop-up window, select the appropriate Additional Options menu and complete the information as follows:

    MENU
    Enter the appropriate Additional Options menu or select it from the Menu Search window.
    e.g. CMM:0004
    DESCRIPTION
    The corresponding menu name is displayed. This can be over-typed as required.
    QUICK LAUNCH
    An optional code can be entered to be used as a "hot key" to access this menu from the Main Menu of Texada SRM.
    COMPANY MENU
    Always uncheck this box for Additional Menus as these are a utility menue and should never be flagged as the company default.
    Finished?
    Click ACCEPT to load this menu in the right panel of the Application Menu Maintenance screen, or click CANCEL to abort.
  3. The right panel of the Application Menu Maintenance is populated with the Additional Options menu selected in step 2, with any previously added options.
    There are two methods for adding additional options:

  4. Once the new menus have been built assign the appropriate operator access permission in the Menu Security of the Security Roles.
    Operators that do not have role permissions will not see these options in the menu tree.

Note: If menus or sub-menus are copied to the Additional Options Menu, they are copied in their entirety and cannot be modified, so if only some of the options on the menu or sub-menu are needed, these specific options need to be copied individually rather than the whole source menu.
