Submenus allow you to create cascading groups of Event Details options that provide logical categories for the user to drill down to make their selection. To add a submenu to an option menu, complete the following steps:
1. Select the Event Type whose option menu you wish to change.
2. Select the option menu you wish to change from the Event Details Option Menus drop-down list.
3. Click Add. The Add/Edit Option dialog box appears.
4. Enter the new option name in the Option Name field.
5. Enter the same name in the Display Menu field.
6. If the new submenu is being added to another submenu, enter the name of the parent submenu in the Submenu field.
7. Click Save. The Options for Currently Selected Menu table updates with the new option.
Note: When changing an existing event details option to use cascading drop down menus, a configuration change to an Event Details XML file (EVENTDETAILS_PNL_ACTIONS.inc) is also needed. You will need to edit the ComboBoxBehavior element by adding the display_menu and submenu attributes. For more information, see the Event Details Configuration section of the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Configuration Guide.
