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.

Save module customizing		14			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.

Information

The customizer can overwrite menu items with a module-specific action.
This only applies to menu items which are not opened via macros.

Example

By default, menu item 34 Save only has the Save function. By particular settings, the standard function can be combined with an action, e.g. saving and refreshing.

Note

Changes made to menu items are not visible on the user interface.
