Sidebar Menu

The mobile application has a sidebar menu, which is the shortcut menu for favorite folders and screens. You can insert links to folders and screens into the sidebar menu.

Example: Adding a Screen to the Sidebar Menu

To add a folder or screen to the sidebar menu, you need to set the IsDefaultFavorite attribute of the folder or screen to true.

Copy the code below to an .xml file, put the file in the \App_Data\Mobile folder of the MYOB Acumatica website, and start the mobile application.

<sm:SiteMap xmlns:sm="http://acumatica.com/mobilesitemap" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <sm:Folder DisplayName="Organization" Icon="system://NewsPaper" >

        <sm:Screen Id="PM301000" Type="SimpleScreen" DisplayName="Projects" Icon="system://Display1" IsDefaultFavorite="true">
            <sm:Container Name="ProjectSummary">
                <sm:Field Name="Status" />
                <sm:Field Name="ProjectID" />
                <sm:Field Name="Customer" />
                <sm:Field Name="TemplateID" />
                <sm:Field Name="Hold" />
                <sm:Field Name="Description" />
            </sm:Container>
        </sm:Screen>

    </sm:Folder>

The resulting sidebar menu of the mobile application will include a link for quick access to the Projects screen.
