To Add Menus

This topic describes how to create multiple categories (i.e. multiple 1st level) and second-level items for your menus.

  1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click on Menus and Roles and select Add New Menu.
  2. A blank form displays.
  3. Complete the Menu Id, Description and Heading as your top-level (parent) menus. The Icon ID, icon image and Heading are optional. This creates the top-level menu.
  4. After you created your top-level menu, add the items (applications). These will be organized as child menus and appear as second-level menu items at runtime.
  5. In the Name field, click on the Search icon to list your applications.


    6. Example Inventory Menu for three applications.

  6. Check the ones you want to add. Complete the Description field and add the icon you want shown for the application. Your selected items are added to the Menu Tree.
  7. (Optional) To add an image, in the Icon field, click the Search icon which obtains images from the Images resource folder.

  8. Click Save.

To view the menu as it would appear in the target device, click on Menu Simulation.
