Introduction to Menu Processes

Menu processes provide an on-screen display from which to execute selected processes. For example, a screen that lists the reports available in an application and from which you select a specific report is a menu process.

In a typical application, you begin process definition by designing and specifying the main menu that is presented when a user first enters the application. You then proceed to identify what happens when each of the options on the menu is selected. APPX allows you to define up to 249 options (choices) on each menu. An option may invoke another menu, and the number of “nested” menu levels that you can specify is unlimited.
