SoftMenu Menu/Option Management
Create Main Menus For Each User Or Group
For easy management, enroll new users from templates then customize menus as needed. Each individual's main menu displays their user name and only those options approved for their use.
 Work With Active Jobs
Administrators can view a job and see the active users associated with the job, or conversely view an individual active user and see the current job they are in. Administrators can use this feature to interactively respond to problems, or obtain a list of active users at a moment's notice for unscheduled shutdowns, or simply monitor the workflow of a new employee.
Option Scheduling
Set up options so that they can only be run on certain days, or times within the day.
Use Group Options and Fkeys for Faster Administration
Menu options and function keys can be grouped according to job classification or other criteria and then assigned to one or more users in a class. Make a change to an option or Fkey group and everyone with that group is immediately updated.
Automate Library List Management By Option
Eliminate library list problems by defining a unique library list to be used for each option and specifying whether SoftMenu should replace or add to the current list.
Option Changes Immediately Available
Change, add, or delete any option or option group—all enrolled users who have the individual option or option group will be immediately updated with the latest changes.
Automate OUTQ Assignment by Option
The output queue of the user's job will be changed so that output generated during the running of the option will be directed to the appropriate output queue.
External Access To Menu and Options
We supply APIs to access SoftMenu menus, submenus, and options; assign or remove option groups; and delete users from SoftMenu as they leave the company.
Create Submenus
Create submenus (up to 9 levels deep) the same way main menus are created. Submenus can call submenus, and you can customize a submenu for any user. Submenus can use different option names or numbering for the same program registered in the option master file.
Other Submenu Enhancements
SoftMenu allows you to designate on which row/column of a submenu an option will appear, view the referenced master file option when maintaining submenu option, and view a user's customized submenu.
Sequencing Authority
When viewing the options in the masterfile, they can be sorted by sequence value.
