Screen Details
The Sort column stores a numeric value for each folder and menu option so that items can be grouped for easy management. Assigned numeric values can be overridden as needed.
The Menu Option field is a text field. Its value appears in the menu as a folder name or a module name. The values can read whatever best suits your needs.
The Action Parameter field contains the parameter for the intended module navigation. The syntax for this field is "(ModuleCode=ModuleCodeValue)". For a complete list of module codes refer to the Modules list under System Admin > Developer > Modules. Menu options without an Action Parameter will be treated as a folder and will automatically appear boldfaced.
