Overview

The Group Screen functionality allows users to build and manage the structure of the Main menu displayed in the Render application. Here you can create and manage the second level menu items (child items) that are assigned to the first level Menu items (parent items) in the Main menu on the Render page. 

The screens assigned to a particular menu build a group of screens and are shown in the Menu drop-down list in the Render main menu.  

Here you can control the visibility of buttons and the ability to perform particular actions on the screen as well.

To search for a menu or filter the search results, use the following search filters and enter any or all the search criteria:

Sort Results

You can sort search results by the columns in ascending (arranged from the smallest to the largest number and alphabetically for letters) or descending (arranged from the largest to the smallest number and in reverse alphabetical order for letters) order. Columns' names, by which search results can be sorted, are indicated with arrows. Click the appropriate column name to sort search results by it.
