Description

A menu structure is used to organise applications in Build.one and make the functions reusable in multiple places. This is an example of the menu structures of an Application

1. The first node contains the main menu structure.
2. This is the folder for an application. In this application, various elements such as buttons, desktops, etc. can be collected. Any number of applications can be managed in a menu structure. Alternatively, you can create a separate menu structure for each application.
3. This group collects and manages all toolbars.
4. For each different toolbar, a separate folder is created to collect the buttons for that specific toolbar.
5. This is the first toolbar button located in the toolbar from point 4. Any number of buttons can be collected in these elements. The respective function is also declared in these elements.
6. This group collects and manages all ribbons.
7. For each different ribbon, a separate folder is created to collect the buttons and blocks for that specific ribbon.
8. The block can be used to visually separate buttons from each other.
9. This is the first ribbon button located in the ribbon from point 6. Any number of buttons can be collected in these elements. The respective function is also declared in these elements.
10. This group collects and manages all buttons.
11. For each different button, a separate folder is created to declare the functionality of the button.
12. This element declares the functionality of the button and defines the menu function.
13. This group is used to represent the desktops as in Sidebar in Build.One
14. It is possible to define different groups with different desktops. Here, an extended desktop group is declared.
15. Here, the launch function for the screen is declared to display it in the desktop group.
16. It is possible to define different groups with different desktops. Here, a basic desktop group is declared.
