Navigation Manager Editor allows you to create and edit the menus available within SunSystems Navigation Manager. To access Navigation Manager Editor (NME) from Navigation Manager select Setting up SunSystems, Tools, NME - Navigation Manager Editor. Navigation Manager menus consist of folders and shortcuts. Folders contain:

    further folders, thereby creating a hierarchical structure.

    shortcuts, linking to SunSystems functions or external applications, such as Microsoft Excel.

Shortcuts contain properties that specify the SunSystems function or external application they link to, and how these items are to be invoked. For example, properties can be used to specify which SunSystems form is used when invoking a SunSystems function via a shortcut, or which file is automatically opened when invoking an external application via a shortcut.

Menu structure, folder and shortcut names, and shortcut properties, are all user-definable when using Navigation Manager Editor. Within SunSystems, different Navigation Manager menus are assigned to each operator group. Using Navigation Manager Editor you can create specific menus for each operator group and thereby restrict access to tools, functions and forms. For example, the clerks' menu can exclude any system administration functions such as Operator Setup. Menus are assigned to operator groups when they are saved.
