iMenu - Dynamic Menu System

Overview

iMenu is a file-based menu system, designed to mimic the design and layout of traditional IBM i menus, with the ability to call programs, commands or go to another menu.

Menus are organised into sets within database tables, with one set of menus per table. This provides the ability to split menus according to system, environment or purpose, or in any other way you care to use them.

Menus in one set can be linked to menus in another set.

Customisation Features

The following features can be customised via the IGO command:

  • Whether the user sees a command line or just an option field.
  • Whether the user can exit from the initial menu.
  • Whether the user has access to command entry (via function key F10).
  • Whether or not authority checking is to be performed.
  • What to do with menu options which either don't exist or the user doesn't have authority to.
  • Default colours and attributes for the elements which make up a menu screen:
    • Company Text
    • Menu Title
    • Instructional Text
    • Left-hand Text
    • Option Number
    • Menu Option
    • Program Option
    • Command Option
    • Comment/Heading Option
