Set up menus on the Menus tab of the User Groups page. Creating a menu structure for user groups is critical to database security and data integrity. The menu structure is displayed in a tree structure that extends to four levels: one Main Menu level, two Sub-Menu levels, and one Screen level. The Main Menu level may contain up to seven items. The Sub-Menu level may contain up to 30 items, and the items may be a mix of folders and screens. Finally, the Screen level may contain up to 30 items, but the items must be screens.

  1. Select Administration > Security > User Groups.

  2. Select the user group for which to set up menus, and then click the Menus tab.

  3. View the tree structure, and then click the plus sign (+) beside the menu and/or sub-menu you wish to view. The menu and/or sub-menu are expanded, and then the folders and screens that reside at various levels below the main menu and/or sub-menu are displayed.

    Click the minus sign (-) to collapse the menu.

  4. In Available Screens, select the screen to add to the menu structure.

  5. Drag and drop the screen name into the desired menu structure location on the tree structure. The number of screens applied to the menu structure are verified. If less than 30 screens exist, the screen is added to the tree structure and expanded to illustrate the level of the screen as necessary. Also the screen is inserted into the Screen Permissions table and the Tab Permissions table as necessary.

  • If you drop a screen into a sub-menu folder, the screen is added as the last child of the sub-menu folder.

  • If you drop a screen to another screen, the screen is added directly below the existing screen.

  • You may also drag and drop main menu folders, sub-menu folders, and screens within the tree structure.

  • You cannot make a higher-level item subordinate to a lower-level item, i.e., you cannot move a main menu folder to the Screen level.

  • When you delete a menu item, the screen is also deleted from the Screen Permissions table and the Tab Permissions table as necessary.
