Configuring a Local Pop-up Menu for Mobile Workstation Touchscreens

You can configure a local pop-up menu for mobile workstation devices from the EMC’s Page Design module. A Local Pop-up Menu button saves touchscreen page space by eliminating individually hard-coded menu item buttons. You can add multiple menu items to the Local Pop-up Menu. When this button is pressed, all of the items appear in a pop-up window in the same order in which they were configured in the Page Design module.

To configure a Local Pop-up Menu:

  1. Sign in to EMC.
  2. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Page Design.
  3. Insert a new page record, and then select a handheld page template, or select an existing page which is already using a handheld page template.
  4. On the Edit tab, select the page area in which to define the Local Pop-up Menu button.
  5. Click Button.
  6. On the General subtab, enter the button name in the Legend field.
  7. From the Type drop-down list, select Function.
  8. Click the black arrow beneath the Type drop-down list.
  9. Select the Local Menu Popup function.
  10. Position and size the button on the page. Use the Style arrow to change the color.
  11. To add menu items to the pop-up button, click Edit Popup Entries.
