Action menu groups

Group divider and sort order

You go to Menu group and click on the three dots button to edit the available menu groups. You can subdivide in sub-menus by adding a slash and then the name of the sub-menu (e.g. Views/Special or Views/More).  It's recommended to use a sort key for ease of editing and also to organize the sub-menus by adding a sort key that adds a numeric value. In this example,

004, 00 is the views menu and the sub-menus are then added on 0,1 and 0,2 like this:

You add a menu group by clicking the button. If you double-click here, you will get a debug property editor.

You can edit here but we'll instead recommend you either click slow a second time to go into edit mode here but more easily, press F2. And then you can edit the name. For example adding Views/Extra.

You add a sort key that fits with the other ones. In this case, 004, 003 for example, and then this will update immediately.  You can see that this will be added as a third option in the views menu. 

We need to create an action. Add global action and we now select the new one Views/Extra. So the extra action. Now looking at the view extra, the extra action.  

For each of the actions, you can also select a divider within the menu. For example, group one and group two. Looking at how that turns out, you will see under special there are not two groups with a divider in between. 

You don't see the divider group name in the menu itself. It is just a way to put them together. So if you have two actions with the same group identifier, they will be grouped in that area and then there will be a divider to the rest of the actions. You can then also add a sort order within that group.  So this will take precedence over the general menu group sort key. But if there is a sort key, this will be respected first. And then within that group, you can have a different sort order. 

When working with actions, we recommend you use these. Try it out by using the global menu based on the current settings rendition at the top right.
