System Administrator Scenarios › How to Customize the Actions Menu › Create a Submenu

Create a Submenu

Create submenus on the Actions menu to group menu options. For example, if you have multiple reports to add as options, you can create a submenu named Reports. Placing the report options together under one submenu makes them easier to find.

Active options and global options that are defined within any object are available for addition to a submenu in an object list or properties view.

Note: If you want a submenu to appear on the list and the properties view, create a menu for each view.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Objects.
2. Open the object and click Views.
3. Click Actions Menu in the Setup Column of the appropriate view.
4. Click New.
5. Complete the requested information for the menu name, menu code, and description.
6. Move the appropriate menu options to the Selected Actions list box.

   Note: Use the arrows to place the menu options into the correct order in the Selected Actions list box.

7. Click Save and Return.

   The new menu is created and appears in the Actions menu list for the view.

8. Click Menu Layout.

   The list of submenus appears in the order that appears on the Actions menu for the view.

9. Move the submenus into the appropriate order using the arrows.
10. Save your changes.
