Menu configuration
The Menu configuration defines the structure of the Infor Public Sector menu, and can be used to customize the menu to fit an agency’s requirements. For example, you can add menu items that will access external URLs such as agency intranets or other browser-based applications.
The menu includes a number of submenus, which in most cases represent specific Infor Public Sector modules. Each submenu is in turn divided into a number of sections, which include menu items that provide access to specific applets or URLs.
The menu pages are known as choice page menus. For example, the Transaction Management page in Infor Public Sector Inventory is a choice page menu. The choice page menu has a number of submenus, which are displayed as tabs along the top of the page. The menu items on each tab are grouped into one or more sections, and displayed on one or more rows within each section. Each menu item is displayed as a link that will open a specified applet.
The Menu configuration has a root node with one attribute:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| displayText | Display text of the main menu. |
The node has a number of nodes as children. Each node has one attribute:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Text | Text that is displayed in the submenu’s title bar. |
Each submenu, in turn, has one or more nodes as children. The node has these attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Editable ID | This is an internal value, and should not be changed. |
| displayText | Text that is displayed in the section’s title bar. |
Finally, each section has one or more nodes as children, each of which defines one of the options that are displayed in the menu. Each item can have these attributes:
| Attribute | Description |

| Window Height | Height of the window that will open if you set the Open Window attribute to True. |

| Attribute | Description |

| license | Name of the license Infor Public Sector checks before displaying the submenu. |
| name | Display name of the submenu. This is the name that is displayed on the tab for the submenu. |
