A menu item is used for launching the interface that contains the widget you’ve built. Once it is created, it can be displayed almost anywhere in the system as a top-level menu, as a menu item under a drop-down menu, or as a button. Place the menu item for a wizard in the place most useful to the users.

Enter a number from 1 up, no decimal digits. The Menu item with the smallest Order number will be displayed at the top of the menu, and so on. | Stylesheet Class | To change the look of the Menu Item from the system default one, add a button class from the Bootstrap library (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#buttons) or from the internal Docupace classes. | Icon Class | Indicates the image that is used in case the Menu Item will be displayed as an icon (for example, if Application Context is set as Table Record). Enter the Icon Class from Bootstrap Glyphicons (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/components/), for example: glyphicon glyphicon-ok-sign glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign glyphicon glyphicon-download-alt glyphicon glyphicon-check | Description | Users will not see this description; it is for internal reference only. | Interface | Select the interface that will be called by this menu item. | System Access Rule | Choose which users the Menu Item shall be available by choosing from the drop-down list. | Is Disabled | Current status of the menu item. If disabled (value Yes), none of the users will see this menu item. | Visibility Condition | Determines under which conditions the Menu Item is made visible to the users. If this field is left empty, the Menu Item will be visible in all cases. Use JavaScript code, for example: $parent.$parent.allTaskData.workitemData.domain == 401 In this case the Menu Item will be visible only if this is a Client Activity Work Item, its domain ID is 401. |
