Using this screen, you can assign a menu structure to a persona. The menu structure is the toolbar that displays, which varies depending on which persona is selected. The Base Persona and Menu template resolves the issue of customized personas and menus being overwritten when upgrading to a new release. Also, users can now reset and copy their personas from base and customer personas.
Two
new tables were added to resolve the issue of customized personas and
menus being overwritten: PSM_PERSON_BASE and PSM_PERSONA_MENU_BASE. These
tables store the metadata for Base Persona and Menu template. The product
development team will send SQL scripts to update the Base Persona and
Menu template. The metadata in the PSM_PERSONA and PSM_PERSONA_MENU tables
will not be updated in the future.
There are two ways to define the menu structure for a persona:
1. Manually enter menu items.
2. Copy an existing menu structure and modify it.
At any time, you can reset the menubar to the base structure by clicking Reset Menubar to Base from the Menu Setup task category.
