Overview

This module is used for defining new second-level menu's item referencing to the URL.

Module's schema is defined in menu.xsd.

Menu item description in tooltip

You can assign short description available as tooltip to menu items.

To do this just add translation with key matching below pattern:

<plugin_name>.menu.<menu_category_name>.<menu_item_name>.description

For example to add tooltip for Production orders -> Order groups just add to orderGroups_XX.properties (replace XX by language code):

orderGroups.menu.orders.orderGroups.description = A group of production orders usually represents a customers order for multiple products
