| Q: How do I add a New Menu Option to an existing Menu? |
A: Choose Menu Definition from the Utilities menu.
The Utilities Menu will default to your screen. At the Menu Number field use the PREV, NEXT and FIND keys to locate the menu to which you wish to add an option. If you know the menu number it may be entered at this field.
When the appropriate menu has been found, use the ENTER key to move to a blank menu line and type the Description of the option your are adding. From the description field, the ENTER key will move you to the Action Column. Information in this column should only be supplied by DataModes and MUST be Typed Correctly (information in this column is case sensitive and must be ented in ALL CAPS) in order for the program to function.
If you wish, you may enter a password to restrict access to these programs. This password may be entered in upper case, lower case or a combination of both.
When you have finished these steps, use the SAVE key to exit this menu and save your changes. If you wish, you can bring this menu up again and verify the changes were saved and are correct. Most menus will be updated automatically when you save them, there is no need to log out of DataModes to view and/or access the change(s) and/or new program(s).
Example:
To add the APM version of the Comparative Income Statement to the G/L Financial Reports menu, you will do the following;
From the Utilities menu, select Menu Definition.
Locate the menu for 'G/L Financial Statements', the menu number is usually 19.
Use the ENTER key to move to an empty line.
Enter the description 'Comparative Income Statement' and ENTER to Action.
Be sure your CAPS Lock is set to 'on' and type 'CHAINW GL066R17
Use the ENTER key to move to the Password column. If you wish to enter a password, you may do so now to restrict usage of this program.
When changes are complete and correct, use the F2 SAVE key to clear the menu and save the changes. To verify they were saved, you may enter the menu number again and FIND to view the changes.
You may now move to the G/L Financial Statements menu and run the program.
