These records represent menu options that launch applications, enquiries, versions, and other menus when clicked. Menus can be linked to individual user profiles to determine which options each user can access upon logging in.

APPLICATION MENUS

Introduction

Users can launch applications in T24 through the T24 user menu as displayed following a
successful login through T24 Browser. Menus can be built and structured through the
HELPTEXT.MENU application.

Menus are fully customisable records defined using the HELPTEXT.MENU application, as
illustrated below:
Figure 2 –Menus are constructed of customisable records

The text which appears represents HELPTEXT.MENU records and instructions within them,
so that when the text (in the example below, ‘Trade finance dept’) is clicked, it displays the
contents of the HELPTEXT.MENU that underlies it. When text represents an enquiry,
version or application, this is run upon being clicked.

It is possible to link a single menu to a user, so that as soon as a user enters the system, that
menu is displayed. This is done through the INIT.APPLICATION field on the USER profile.
If a user has an INIT.APPLICATION set, he will not be able to use any applications that lie
outside of that menu. If no menu is linked to the USER profile, all HELPTEXT.MENU
records which are not accessed through another HELPTEXT.MENU can be accessed from the
command line (depending on USER profile settings). Each system, and even user, should
have a standard menu configured to ensure that they have access to all of their required
functionality.

The HELPTEXT.MAINMENU file may still be used as before, and is still supported, whereby
a single menu contains only other menus and may be entered in the INIT.APPLICATION

field. However, use of HELPTEXT.MENU for this role is now the more flexible and
preferred choice.

The Menu Structure

The HELPTEXT.MENU record can be used to launch applications, versions of applications,


enquiries and even other menus – in effect, selecting an option from a menu has the same
effect as entering it in the command line. Anything that can be entered in the command line
can be entered on the APPLICATION field of the HELPTEXT.MENU.
