Understanding MixERP Menu
MixERP features an easy to use menu system where resources are categorized as:
- Menu node having children (Parent menu item)
- Menu item
- Current page menu item
Menu Node with Children
A menu node with child items is represented by a folder icon. This serves as a parent node in the tree.
Menu Item
A menu item is represented by a file icon. A menu item when clicked will generally navigate to its URL address. Each menu item has an associated code which is referred to as MenuCode. The primary function of a MenuCode is to be used as a shortcut to access it using a keyboard instead of mice.
Current Page Menu Item
The current page menu is represented by a star icon. It is selected by default.
