Define a drop-down menu on a tab

As the action attribute of a tab is a location group, PolicyCenter automatically creates menu items on the tab that correspond to the locations in that location group. For each location in the location group:

• a menu item is created in the tab
• the label attribute of the Location Ref is used as the label of the menu item
• the permissions of the location determine whether the menu item is available to the current user

For example, the action of the ClaimCenter Search tab goes to the Search location group. Its action attribute is defined as: Search.Go().

This Search location group contains the Location Ref elements that appear as menu items on the tab:

This creates the menu items that appear on the Search tab:

You can create a menu on a tab by explicitly defining Menu Item elements within the Tab definition. This method of creating a menu supersedes the automatic menu items derived from the location group. If you build a menu explicitly, PolicyCenter does not automatically add any other items to it.
