Creating menu items

Menu items are a reference to an object that we wish to add to a menu. We have three types of menu items: Display, Output, and Action. Display is used to add forms, Output is used for reports, and Action is used for classes.

Menu items are also added as privileges to the security system. Users that aren't an administrator will not be able to see the menu items unless they are assigned a role, duty, or privilege that gives them access to the menu item's required access level.

Getting ready

We will just need a form, report, or class that we need to create the menu item for.

How to do it...

1. Choose to add a new item to the project.
2. Select User Interface from the left-hand pane and Form from the right-hand pane.
3. Name the menu item to be the same as the form; in this case, ConWHSVehicleParameters.
4. Enter the label @SYS7764 as the Label property; this is the lowest @SYS label that has no specific context described.
5. Create a help text label for Maintains the vehicle management settings...
