The menu panel
When you open SunSystems, the menu panel is displayed by default. This panel fills the entire application window, and contains:
- The navigation bar, which organizes menu items into groups. Click a group on the navigation bar to display the menu items for that group.
- Click a function name to launch the function. To run a function in a new browser tab, right click the function and in the menu, select in a new tab.
- The function selection control. Use this control in lookup mode or search mode, to rapidly locate and launch a function without having to navigate to the relevant group, category and menu item.
Note: When you open SunSystems you can select the session that was
displayed when you last exited the application.
Menu Groups
The default menu groups are defined at the level of SunSystems modules.
The group allocation of menu items can be changed using Groups in Security.
The Favourites group is defined by each individual user. If it is enabled, it is always displayed on the left of the main navigation bar.
Note: If the Search Results group is
visible, it does not scroll and always remains to the immediate right of the
Favourites group.
Categories
Menu items are further organized into categories, based on the business objects to which they relate. It is possible to change the default allocation of menu items to categories, but the list of categories is fixed.
