Contextual Menus

Related content can appear at the component, page, and field levels. You access the content at all levels similarly: through links that appear in contextual menus.

You work with these types of contextual menus in PeopleSoft applications:

  • The Related Content menu, which displays only related content.

    The Related Content menu appears in the page bar at the top of the transaction page.

    The following example shows two services in the Related Content menu:

  • The related actions menus, which displays only related actions.

    The related actions menus can appear as:

    • An Actions menu on a pivot grid chart.

    • A free-standing Actions button on any page.

      The label on the Actions button is configurable within PeopleSoft Application Designer.
