Select a DSD that will provide subject details for the menu. Data from the subject DSD may be used in the main heading (the Subject) and the Sub Title of the displayed menu. Values from the DSD may also be used in parameters passed to menu items.

This is optional.

If a DSD was selected, choose the data group you wish to use as the subject data group from which values may be selected for Subject and Sub Title.

These values will be displayed or used as tooltips, depending on how the menu is presented.

You may enter any text but it is recommended keeping the Subject, in particular, brief. When you click into either entry box a list of available fields from the Subject Data Group. Click on any field to insert it in your value.

When the menu is used as a side or main menu, its colour may be specified using the Colour Picker

If your menu includes direct references to entities, check this box to have the user's permissions checked before displaying the menu. If they do not have permission, the entity will be hidden from the user.

This is a useful option but can affect performance as a full check must be made on every entity in the menu before displaying.

Permissions may be checked on individual items. This is more efficient as you need only have those checked that you know are subject to access security.
