You can configure the menu items that appear in MarkView Home and submenu items that appear under primary menus. Use Module Admin to rename, delete and add menu items, or change what happens when a user selects an item.

Each column defines the characteristics of a row entry and each row defines a menu item.

• Menu Description: Shows the menu name and the names of all menus that have submenu items. For example, the MarkView Home page has a menu item Administration. Under Administration is a submenu item, User Admin, which has two submenu items of its own.

  Because both Administration and User Admin have submenus, they appear in the Menu Description column. The submenus associated with them appear in the Default item Label column.

• Menu Sequence (Order): Shows the order in which submenu items appear. In the main menu, lower numbers push a menu item further to the left. In submenus, lower numbers push a menu item higher.

  MarkView sorts menus items first by the Menu Description, then by Menu Sequence number.

• Default Item Label: Shows the default name that appears in the interface.

• Item Label Message: Shows the localized message that appears when the user accesses a localized interface.

• Item Type: Specifies if the item is a menu or submenu item, or a link to the URL page.

  • MENU: Generates a submenu when a user selects the item. Set the Item Value to the name of the menu. When a user clicks the menu, a submenu pops up.

  • URL: Triggers an action when a user selects the item. Set the Item Value to one of the following:

    • A full URL, such as http://aphost.nonesuch.com:8889/sfasmm. When a user clicks Load Hierarchy Data, the system accesses the specified URL.

    • The full name of a PL/SQL procedure or an argument that passes to the PL/SQL procedure using CGI format.

      When a user selects Verify MarkView, no submenu appears; instead the system invokes the following PL/SQL procedure:

      MVW_Folder.ShowFolder

      Because the system uses CGI format to pass arguments (FolderID=1) to the target PL/SQL procedure, the Item Value is set to the following:

      MVW_Folder.ShowFolder?FolderID=1

• Item Value: Provides the value that connects the menu item to page defined by the menu item or to the URL link.

• MarkView Home Aware: Determines how the window refreshes.

  • Y (yes): Retains the current MarkView top frame; does not refresh the window. Used for partial URLs that usually call a procedure.

  • N (no): Redraws the MarkView top frame. Used for fully qualified URLs.

To edit a menu item, click Update.

To delete a menu item, click Delete.
