Main menu actions are called GlobalActions. We start by bringing up the Actions definition window:

We add some GlobalActions and give them names based on what we want them to do in the end:

If I run this as is with MDriven prototyping, I get this main menu:

But we want to organize the menu, so we create some Menu-Groups:

To get the internal order and dividers into the menu, I need to set the Divider group for the items. If this differs between two actions, they will be separated by a divider. If it is the same between two actions, the actions will be sorted on the “Sort order in Group” value within the group.[[File:Main Menu actions image 8.png|none|thumb|link=https://wiki.mdriven.net/index.php/File:Main_Menu_actions_image_8.png]]This is what I get in prototyping now:

Main menu actions are called GlobalActions. We start by bringing up the Actions definition window:

We add some GlobalActions and give them names based on what we want them to do in the end:

If I run this as is with MDriven prototyping, I get this main menu:

But we want to organize the menu, so we create some Menu-Groups:

Now, I can decide in what group my actions should be:

then I get this result when prototyping:

To get the internal order and dividers into the menu, I need to set the Divider group for the items. If this differs between two actions, they will be separated by a divider. If it is the same between two actions, the actions will be sorted on the “Sort order in Group” value within the group.

This is what I get in prototyping now:

If I want to organize the actions in sub-menus, I do this by declaring a new Menu group:

And I use that group on the actions I want in the submenu:

The strategy for creating context menus is exactly the same.
