In this example we are going to create a menu item for PKP user group that will fire up a filter with ID 1008.

Navigation Manager Editor (NME) is used to generate a menu layout for each user group.
The menu file generated will be named according to a pre-defined convention:
01PKP.OPX, where
 01 represents the language code.
 PKP represents the operator group code.
 OPX is the filename tag identifying menu files.
Menu files are held in XML and as such can be edited using tools other than Navigation Manager.  You need to ensure that menu files are held in a secure directory, with controlled access.
Now we are going to amend a menu to include this filter.
From Navigation Manager, expand the Setting up SunSystems folder and open Tools.
From the Forms pane, double click Navigation Manager Editor (NME).
Check out the .OPX file.
