Application menu

Defines how the menu item appears on mobile clients.

Content

Based on the type selected before, the user has to enter additional information in this section.

Application

Refers to the application used for the link. The Sage X3 application is mandatory if the link is a "Function (classic)" type link.

Note: This field is not available for the "External link" type.

Endpoint

If this field has a value, the link is automatically displayed in a vignette, if the vignette is associated with the correct endpoint.

Note: This field is not available for the "External link" type.

Representation

Defines the representation used for the user interface. This representation is linked to an entity (only some representations are available for each entity). You can select it:

If the application is a Syracuse collaboration.
If the application is Sage X3, and if the endpoint (Sage X3 folder) is identified for the menu item.

Only a representation attached to an entity can be used.

Note: This field is only available for the "Representation" type.

Entity

Indicates the entity managed by the page. You can select it:

If the application is a Syracuse collaboration.
If the application is Sage X3, and if the endpoint (Sage X3 folder) is identified for the menu item.

If the application is Sage X3 but the endpoint is not known, the selection is only done if a default endpoint has been set up for Sage X3 type endpoints.

Note: This field is only available for the "Representation" type.

Action

Determines which action is executed for the representation:

Query is used to display a page that lists the entity values, and allows the user to display the details of an entity instance, to edit it, or to create a new instance.
Statistics is used to display the summarized information associated with an entity instance. A key value must be entered.
Details is used to display the detail of an entity instance. A key value must be entered.
Edit is used to modify the detail of an entity instance. A key value must be entered.
Create is used when a page is displayed to create a new instance of the entity.

Note: This field is only available for the "Representation" type.

Indicates the Sage X3 function code. If the Sage X3 endpoint (Sage X3 folder) is identified for the menu item, the function code is selected from the corresponding folder. If not, no selection is possible unless a default endpoint has been set up for Sage X3 type endpoints.

If the function requires an additional parameter, it can be added with syntax FUNCTION_CODE~PARAMETER_VALUE. This is especially useful:

for any function that might use a transaction code (for example, GESSOH~MYORDER uses the sales order entry with the MYORDER transaction)
for an inquiry that has different screens (for example, SAIWRKPLN~PUR uses the workflow monitor with screen code PUR)
for a report execution (for example, AIMP~POSCOD executes the POSCOD report).

Note: This field is only available for the "Function (classic)" type.
