Viewing and Updating Advanced Menu Properties

Each menu item you add contains properties that the system finds and attaches for you. You can view and update these properties, as needed. You can also use these properties to create a menu option from scratch, without pulling it from a source menu, or when you are adding a custom program or subroutine to a menu.

To view and update advanced menu properties:

From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select Menu Maintenance to display the Menu Maintenance window.
On the right side of the window, select the menu ID you want to edit in the Menu field, or click New to create a new menu.
In your custom menu details, select the item you want to view or update and click Advanced. The Advanced window displays the following information for the menu:
