Applications

The operation of the Menu Tree starts when a User enters a Data Mart.

In each Data Mart a User may be given Access to one or more Applications.

For Example: Ledger

Payroll

Purchasing

All of these would be Applications.

Actions

When a User is given Access to an Application, then of course in that Application the User should be given Access to one or more Actions.

For Example: File Maintenance

Enquiries

Reports

Now these Actions can be found in multiple Applications.

They simply represent a Menu Action Path.

Options

And of course for each Action within an Application that a User is given Access to, a User should get one or more Options, because a User will Select Application, Action, Option.

Examples of Options would be the Final Processes that the User may be able to open.

For example if we say we choose: Ledger then we choose File maintenance and the Options may include things like - Open New Accounts

Maintain Accounts etc.

The Menu Tree

So in fact the Menu Tree is very easy to understand.

First the User will Select an Application, then an Action, then an Option.

So in an example we could say as Application we Select Ledger. As Action we Select File Maintenance. As Option we Select Open new Account.
