1. Click 
   _app_menu_bar

    Add menu bar
   to create a new screen. 
2. In the pop-up menu, select the location for the menu bar.
   
   
3. Select a blank menu or a template.
   Menu's are set to Open on Startup automatically.
4. PhixFlow prompts you to enter the name and description for the menu bar.
5. Specify the the dimensions of the menu bar in percentages or pixcels. For example:
   

   • vertical dimensions:

     • width: 100%

     • height: 50px

   • horizontal dimensions

     • width: 200px 

     • height: 100%

6. Click Confirm.
7. PhixFlow opens a new screen canvas on the left and the palette on the right.

By default your application menu will appear on all your application screens. For this reason the application menu is it's own screen, rather than a child of another screen.

??How do you tell PhixFlow which screens to add it to??

Adding Menu Options

For a top-level menu option that will open a screen, 

1. Open the repository to show the list of screens.
2. Drag a screen-name from the repository onto the menu bar.
3. PhixFlow prompts you to add the Display Name text you want to appear in the menu. By default, the text is the screen's name.
4. PhixFlow adds the menu option and automatically creates the actionflow.
   When a user clicks the option, the screen opens automatically.

Use the Menu properties to configure more complex menus, for example, nested menus or options that run an actionflow.

Important: A menu is not an area on a screen. Under-the-hood, it is another screen
