Changing users' menu options

You can change menu options for users. When you make changes to Lawson-delivered menu items, do not change the "Action" assignment (Navigate or Function). Actions for all Lawson menu items should retain their default settings.

To change options available to users through user settings

  1. From the administrator's home page, access Manager Roles.
  2. On the Role Maintenance page, select the role, and then click the Select from the navigation toolbar. Click the Menus tab.
  3. To remove access to one or more Lawson-delivered menu options (Content or User Options), select it and click Delete.
  4. Click and drag the drag handler on the left side of each item to move it higher or lower on the menu.

    Alternatively, you may use the up and down buttons on the toolbar to reorganize items on the menu.

  5. To add a new menu option, click New.
    1. On the dialog window, type a name for the new menu item and specify a URL.
    2. Select an Action for the menu item. Choices are Navigate (default) and Function.

      Navigate means that the menu item refers to a URL that is displayed in the content frame. Function means that menu item is the name of a custom JavaScript function (created at your site) that is run when a user selects the menu item.
