Description |
The short name of the menu. Alphanumeric, 10 positions; display-only. |
|
The number of menus you have advanced through to reach the current menu. When you sign on the system, you will be at menu level 1. As you advance through each menu, the number in the Menu Level field increases. This feature is helpful in letting you know how many levels you must advance through to reach the menu you need to work with. For example, if you must advance through four menu levels to reach the menu you require, you may want to set that menu as your default menu. (You can do this by pressing F17 on the menu you wish to set as the default.) When you sign on again to the system, the default menu you set will appear. Numeric, 2 positions; display-only. |

This field enables you to enter a unique code for a menu option, allowing you to access an option directly without selecting the option from a menu tree. Each option on the system has a Fast Path name. For example, if you enter MITM in the Fast Path field, you advance to the Work With Inventory option. If you do not know the option name, you can place your cursor on the Fast Path field and press F4. A pop-up window appears, showing the Fast Path option names and descriptions that are currently on the system. From this pop-up window, you can scroll through the list and select the desired option. When accessible to the user, the Fast Path and Menu fields can be displayed or hidden by pressing F8. A Y in the Fast Path field in the user's record controls whether the Fast Path field appears on the screen for a user. See Chapter 4: Working with User Records (WUSR). Alphanumeric, 4 positions; optional. |
