Creating custom menu sets
You can create custom menu sets to include the menus you require.
To create or edit menu sets:
1. Choose File menu > Manage > Custom Menus > Menu Sets tab.
2. Create a menu set, or edit or duplicate an existing menu set. You
can also delete menu sets that your users will not need.
3. Specify which menus to include in the menu set, and click OK.
Important Duplicating a custom menu set creates a copy of the menu
set and references the same custom menus as the original menu set. It
does not duplicate the custom menus. If you change a menu item, you
change the menu for all menu sets in which the menu is included.
Once you create menu sets, you must specify options for installing
them. You can:
1 specify a default menu set for a file
1 specify menu sets for individual layouts
1 create scripts that change menu sets
1 specify menus within the menu set to display according to mode
1 switch menu sets using the FileMaker Pro Advanced Tools menu
For more information about creating, installing, and testing custom
menu sets, see Help.
Menus appear in the menu bar in the order shown in this list.
Drag an arrow up or down to change the order.
