Creating Menus (Button Maker)

For a video on Creating and Editing Menus using Best Practices, select this icon Creating Menus.

The Button Menu Design screen is where you design the menu pages and buttons for the Shipping and Inventory modules.

There are two important things to remember:

This screen is divided up into areas:

  1. The Menu Type drop down where you may choose the type of menu. Is it a menu containing commodities or inventory items.
  2. The buttons area where you can add and edit buttons including adding and deleting rows of buttons.
  3. The Sub menu drop down where you can choose a menu to edit or add a new menu. 
  4. The Home screen drop down where you can add a new menu or choose an existing one to edit. 
  5. The Edit Menu Type area where you may choose the whether the menu is a Home screen or a Sub Menu.
  6. The Yard drop down where you may select the yard and preview the menu for that yard by selecting Preview.
  7. The Action items area allow you to perform actions on the menu. These are described below.

You may change the Home screen, select a yard and edit the menu name. When a yard is selected, the menu will only be available at that yard rather than all yards. The Edit Menu Name allows a new name to be entered or an existing one to be edited. The menu is associated with  the home screen or a sub menu. 

To add a new menu: 

  1. Touch Add Menu.
  2. Give the menu a name. 
  3. Select the yard from the list.
  4. Select the menu type radio button: Home Screen or Submenu.
  5. Add/edit buttons and edit the rows/columns, if necessary. Select the behavior. Example, go to menu if the button links to an existing menu.
  6. Touch Save.
  7. Close the Button Maker.
