Add a Submenu to a Menu

Custom Details enables you to add submenus to the standard menus.

Submenus do not appear in the Organizer or on the Security Group page. In these locations, items that are placed in a submenu will appear together in the location normally occupied by the submenu.

  2. From the Product field drop-down list, select a product.
  3. From the Activity field drop-down list, select an activity.
  4. From the Submenu field drop-down list, select All. All the submenus defined for the menu appear in the list on the right.
  5. Click Add. The Customize Submenu dialog box opens.
  6. In the Submenu field, enter a name.
  7. Enter a message in the Status Bar Message field. This message will display in the Status Bar at the bottom of the Sage HRMS page whenever you move the mouse pointer over the submenu in the main menu. If you enter nothing, the status bar message will default to the name of the submenu.
  8. Click OK to save your changes.
  9. You can now add items to the submenu.

  2. From the Product field drop-down list, select a product.
