Defining Screen Menu Items


Screen Menu Items are child objects of the Application Object Type. Screen Menu Items appear as hyperlinks on the Site Map. They allow users to click the hyperlink to go to the screen. Figure 164 shows Screen Menu Item definitions displayed on the Site Map.

NOTE:  The site map is available by choosing View from the application-level menu and then choosing Site Map.

To associate screens with screen menu items

  1. From the Object Explorer, expand the Application object type.
  2. Select the child object called Screen Menu Item.

    The Screen Menu Items List Editor appears as the bottom windowpane in the Object List Editor window.

  3. With the Screen Menu Items List Editor active, choose Edit > New Record to add a new Screen Menu Item object definition.
  4. Set the properties for the new Screen Menu Item record:
    • Screen. The screen that will be accessed with the menu item.
    • Sequence. The position of the menu item on the Site Map for the application.

      Duplicate sequence numbers are acceptable—in that case the first one added will be the first to appear.

      You can also use gaps in sequence numbers so that you can insert additional screens between your original entries.

    • Text. The text to use for the menu item.
