SideBarMenus

The SideBar Menu allows the user to choose an action which is hosted by the device while using the application. For example, while taking count of inventory, a user may need to scan the barcode while using an iOS or Android device, or take a picture of the image without having to exit or log out of the the application (i.e. Cycle Count) they are in. This kind of menu can be created using a variety of setups in the Mobile Development Studio.
