If the program is a session, this information can be retrieved in the session with the procesinfo variable. If the program is a shell program, the information is used as the argument of the program. Active If this check box is selected, the menu option is active. Tools does not show an inactive menu option in the menu in run time. You can change this field in the Strip Menus (ttadv3275m000) session. Initial Hidden If this check box is selected, the menu item is not displayed in the menu at runtime. However, in LN UI users can make the menu item visible through the Personalize Menu command. Administrators can centrally maintain these personalizations through the Menu Personalizations (ttadv9505m000) session. Note This setting has only effect for users that use LN UI. Filter Library The library/dal to determine whether the menu item, session, or complete menu tree, must be hidden based on the parameter settings of the company of the user. Zooming starts a session that only shows libraries/dals. Note This setting has only effect for users that use LN UI. Filter Function The name of the function in the Filter Library that must be called, without the () at the end of the function. This function has no parameters and must return true or false. If the function returns false when called without parameters, the menu field is not displayed in LN UI. In this way you can filter sessions that depend on parameter settings. Note This setting has only effect for users that use LN UI.
