Whenever a process is used from a workstation the process main menu will be displayed.
Working from the process main menu any of the associated functions can be used.
The layout of the process main menu varies according to 3 factors:
- The number and description of the functions associated with the process.
- The "menu style" that has been defined for the process. For more specific details about the menu style options refer to creating a new process and miscellaneous process details in this chapter.
- Any "additional menu options" that have been defined for the process. For more specific details about additional menu options refer to later sections in this chapter.
Some example process main menus follow:
Example 1
A process named ORDERS which uses process menu style SAA/CUA and has quite a few associated functions might look like this:

NOTE: This first example menu is in SAA/CUA format, which is the RECOMMENDED STYLE for all newly developed LANSA applications. Refer to the LANSA Application Design Guide for details of SAA/CUA Implementation and why it is an important strategic direction for your company.

Example 3
