Menus are like screens except that their sole purpose is to jump to another screen.

Add a menu anywhere the user needs to make a decision and branch to a specific series of screens.


To create a new menu:


    1. Click Insert, Menu

                  or 


    1. Set the menu's title                


    1. Click the Add button to add items to the menu

               You will see the Menu Item dialog

               

Hotkey - a key the user can press to auto-select this menu item

Description - the description text to be displayed on screen to the use

Jump to Screen - on selection of this menu item, jump to this screen



Note: Menus are like screens.  Program flow is not designed to automatically return to a menu.  If you want to return to a menu, you should use the Script Item Jump to Screen in the screen's OnExit to return to the Menu.


Note: If you do not like the position the Menu has in the TreeView, you can drag and drop the Menu to the position that you want.
