My Menu Subtask

Use this subtask to set up My Menu for a UI Profile.

My Menu allows you to access shortcuts to the applications you frequently use without navigating through the entire Costpoint menu. You can access My Menu by clicking located on the upper-left portion of your screen.

My Menu Application List

This table window displays a list of all the Costpoint applications from which you can select those to include on My Menu. The fields in this table window display all of the pertinent information for each application and their location within Costpoint.

To select applications to include on My Menu, select the application on this list of all Costpoint applications, and then click Select. The selected application is then moved to the My Menu table window to verify that it is now included on My Menu.
