Development > Utilities > Dictionary > Menus 

This function is used to update the file with the extension .mnu, located in the folder menu directory(sub-directory MLAN, where LAN is the connection language code), associated with a menu profile, and describing the menu and sub-menu tree structure, as well as the XML files that describe the user interface tree structure. These files are automatically updated on the workstations (in client-server and Web) on connection.

The revalidation is carried out in all the languages used in the folder.

This validation phase is automatically carried out for a standard user profile from the moment it is modified by the user profile management. However, there exists a specific default menu profile called ADMIN, which is associated with a privileged user and which automatically contains all the functions defined in the software . The re-validation of this profile is made necessary by this function once the software functions table is updated, for example after adding new functions created by specific/custom developments. Until this phase is carried out, the new functionality is not accessible by the administrator menu (it will be for the other profiles, if they are included in a profile by modifying it).

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

  • Menu profile (field PROFIL)

Enter the menu profile for a user to be revalidated.

The revalidation of a menu profile, following on from a menu profile modification or the creation of a new function, makes it possible to regenerate the HTML menu files for a menu profile of an application.

To benefit from the modification, it is necessary to disconnect and reconnect to the application.

The ADMIN menu profile makes it possible to access all functions.
