Adding menus

If you wish to gather links according to their function, it is possible to create a menu to do so. This may seem to eventually achieve the same result as the Main Menu and its submenus, but as a matter of fact, you can now group some related menu elements that did not belong to the same command group.
 
For instance, 'Suppliers' may be useful in the context of 'Stock' (as adding a stock article requires a supplier to be defined), but they belong respectively to the Image c_General and Image c_Articles command groups. They could therefore be gathered into a 'Article stuff' side menu, whose creation is shown at the image below ; Image m_Add_menu is this time what to choose from a right-click on the User Menu zone, and the new menu's name is validated with the return key.

Then, links are added inside this menu in a similar way as described in Adding links, but this time the right-click is done on the menu's name. A menu's contents are displayed/hidden by clicking on Image m_TriangleRight/Image m_TriangleDown on the left of its name. The picture below finally shows the end result of creating a few menus :

Similarly as for links, User Menu menus can be deleted (provided they do not contain any link), modified and moved.
