Creating dynamic file menus

Instead of hard-coding a file menu's data source, you can specify that the source be dynamically selected at run time according to values that a user or workflow enters in specified fields.

Unlike a file menu that is created in a text file, a dynamic menu is created in a field.

To create a dynamic file menu

1. In BMC Remedy Developer Studio, select File > New > File Menu.
2. Select the server on which to create the menu, and click Finish.
3. In the Refresh list, select the On Open refresh mode.
    See Refreshing menus.
4. In the Location list, select Client.
5. In the File Name field, enter the path and field ID of the field where you want to create the dynamic menu. For example: arfield://FieldID.
   FieldID is the field ID of the field.
6. Go to step 6 in To create a file menu and perform the remaining steps in that procedure.
