Menu

A menu presents buttons for actions in an Application or Stream View.

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

The toolbar has the standard iconsFor information about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties.  For information about other property tabs, see Property Tabs.
