Using that context menu the user can also load the Application with selected menu. All options available in the context menu are:

After creating a Menu there are two ways to add Lists and Buttons:
- Click on the Actions icon at the top of the grid. A popup window will appear listing all the available actions. Drag an action from this popup form onto the grid. If you drop onto an existing Button you will be asked if you want to create a new Button or to create a list which will hold new Buttons and the Button the Actions you dropped onto. If you drop onto an existing List the selected Actions will be added to the List.
- Use the '+' icon at the top of the grid. You can decide if you want to create a Button or a List.
You can add new Lists and Button to the existing List by following the same steps.
See the Action Button Details form for details of each Action Button.
