Personalize Menu (ttadv9205m000)

Use this session to personalize the LN navigation menu structure.

You can perform various actions, for example:

  • Hide or unhide menu entries.
  • Change the order of the entries in a menu.

See Actions.

The session can be started in two ways:

  • LN users can start the session through the Options > Personalize Menu command in LN UI. The startup menu of the user is displayed in the Menu Overview pane.
  • LN administrators can start the session from the Menu Personalizations (ttadv9505m000) session if a personalization is selected. The menu of the selection is displayed in the Menu Overview pane with the personalization on the level that is selected.
Panes

The session consists of these panes:

  • Menu Overview

    Shows the menu tree structure that you can personalize. Double-click a menu to expand or collapse it. Click a menu to select it. The corresponding menu entries are displayed in the menu entries panes.

    The descriptions of the items in the menu tree can contain these texts:

    • “- Filter”: the item is not displayed in the company the user is working in because of parameter settings in that company. Parameter settings in other companies that the user can use might be different. Therefore it may make sense to make this menu item visible.
    • “- Hidden”: the menu item is initially hidden, or hidden based on the personalization. You can make the menu item visible so that it is displayed in the static menu of the user.
    • “- Repeating”: the same menu is available on a higher level in the menu tree. For the repeating menu, no menu entries are displayed in this session. Personalizations must be created on the higher level in the tree.

  • Visible Menu Entries

    Shows the menu entries that are visible in the selected menu.

  • Hidden Menu Entries

    Shows the hidden menu entries that can be made visible in the selected menu.
