Setting up scanner menus for user groups

Set up scanner menus on the Scanner Menus page of the User Groups form to associate prompts to a menu structure. In the system, the menu structure is displayed in a tree structure that extends to three levels: the Main Menu level, Sub-Menu level and DC Prompt, and Web Service Prompt level.

In order to create folders of the menu structure, you must first create a screen for each folder.

See Creating and Modifying Screens.

To set up scanner menus for user groups:

Select Administration > Security > User Groups.
Select the user group for which to set up scanner menus, and then click the Scanner Menus tab.
View the tree structure, and then click the plus sign (+) beside the menu and/or sub-menu you wish to view. The system expands the menu and/or sub-menu and then displays DC Prompts and Web Service Prompts that reside at various levels below the main menu and sub-menu.

Note: Click the minus sign (-) to collapse the menu.
Specify a Dataspy or Filter as necessary.
Under All Available Prompts select the prompt to add to the menu structure.
Drag and drop the prompt into the desired menu structure location on the tree structure. The system also inserts the prompt into the Screen Permissions table.

Note: If you drop a prompt into a sub-menu folder, the system adds the prompt as the last child of the sub-menu folder. If you drop a prompt to another prompt, the system adds the prompt directly below the existing prompt.
You may also drag and drop main menu folders, sub-menu folders, DC prompts, and Web Service prompts within the tree structure. You cannot make a higher-level item subordinate to a lower-level item, i.e., you cannot move a main menu folder to the DC Prompt or Web Service Prompt level.

To delete a menu item, select the menu item to delete, and then click Delete Menu Item. The system deletes the record and updates the tree structure. The system also deletes the prompt from the Screen Permissions table as necessary.
