The following are the top-level configuration parameters for Action Buttons:

Menus in applications

In an application, a number of menus can be created. Typically, one menu is created for use on PCs, and one is created for use on mobile devices - in some cases, a single menu is enough as a default on both types of devices (or when only one type of device will be used). However, it is possible to create more than this - different, non-default menus in the application can be accessed using a URL that specifies the menu.

To make a menu in an application a default, right-click on it in the repository browser and select:

  • Make Default Desktop Menu
  • Make Default Mobile Menu
