Edit Menu Bars

Forms with names beginning menubar_ define a menu bar. The Design view for a menu bar displays the menu at the top. You can click a menu item to lower the menu, but cannot otherwise edit the menu bar directly in Design view. To edit a menu bar, double-click the menu item to display the Menu Designer.

Note: Menus (and menubar forms) are used only in the analyst interface. The customer and employee interfaces use a "launch bar" containing actual links, not drop-down lists. To customize the customer or employee launch bar, edit form std_body_site.htmpl from the appropriate interface.

The Menu Designer allows you to add, insert, and delete menus and their items and to change their captions. You can use the up and down arrow buttons to rearrange menus and items by changing the position of the currently selected item.

Both the Add and Insert buttons insert a new menu item: Add places the new menu item at the end of the menu, while Insert places it before the currently selected item.

To insert a new item on the menu bar

1. Add or insert a menu item.
2. Click the left arrow button to convert it to a menu bar item.
3. Click the right arrow button to if you want to reverse this action.

Note: For information about the fields on the form, see the Web Screen Painter Help.
