Notes and warnings

Upgrade considerations

  • If you have upgraded from an earlier version of SYSPRO, then the MyMenu functionality appears on the Navigation Pane as an operator menu labelled: MyMenu.

User Interface considerations

  • A single mouse click launches programs from the Program List pane (earlier versions of SYSPRO required a double-click).

  • The Program List pane will be blank if operator option: Enable standard SYSPRO menus is not enabled (Operator Maintenance).

Activity considerations

Operator access to the following activities within this program can be restricted. You configure this using the Operator Maintenance program.

Activity Description
Main Menu - Allow to publish menu as HTML Controls whether an operator is able to publish the main menu as an HTML file. This is to prevent unauthorized access to system files when browsing for a location to save the web menu.
