Customizer Menu Items

Information

  • In the PLANTA documentation a distinction is made between user and customizer menu items, whereas user menu items are also displayed to customizers.
  • However, the composition of the menu items in the menu menu bar and in the toolbar is generally configurable and can be compiled by the administrator for individual users or user groups.
  • On this page, the menu items for customizers are described.

With this menu item, all changes made to the customizing are saved in the base module variant, i.e. also for all module variants (see here for more information).

This also applies to changes that are made when the module is called via Python, e.g. unhiding/hiding fields/data areas, adjustments of the data field behavior (input/output...). This menu item should therefore only be used with the utmost care.
