Menu Functions

Menu fields are found in the drawer, which opens when a user presses the menu icon. The menu field function is called from AISCalls.js in the JetTranslations function. Menu fields are saved when the user presses the save button in the drawer and are the values used when the user re-enters the application.

The function called setMenuFieldID looks like this:

setMenuFieldId(self, id, label, inputType, value, converter, validators, options, optionChange);
 
inputType, converter, validators, options, optionChange can be more defined in JET cookbook for each inputType.
 

The following table describes the variables used by the setMenuFieldID function:
