Group divider and sort order
You go to Menu group and click on the three dots button to edit the available menu groups.
You can subdivide in sub-menus by adding a slash and then the name of the sub-menu (e.g. Views/Special or Views/More). It's recommended to use a Sort Key for ease of editing and also to organize the sub-menus by adding a Sort Key that adds a numeric value. In the example above, 004, 00 is the views menu and the sub-menus are then added on as 01 and 02 like this: 00401 and 00402.
You add a menu group by clicking the button. If you double-click the "Add Menu Group" button, you will get a debug property editor.
You can edit the name here
but we'll instead recommend you either click slowly a second time to go into edit mode or more easily, press F2 to add Views/Extra, for example.
You add a sort key that fits with the other ones. In this case, 004, 003 for example, and then this will update immediately. You can see that this will be added as a third option in the views menu.
We create an action to enable us to look at the sample rendering of the global menu. We add a global action and select the new one Views/Extra.
For each of the actions, you can also select a divider within the menu. For example, group one and group two. Looking at how that turns out, you will see under special that there are no two groups with a divider in between.
You don't see the divider group name in the menu itself. It is just a way to put them together. So if you have two actions with the same group identifier, they will be grouped in that area and then there will be a divider to the rest of the actions.
You can then also add a sort order within that group. This will take precedence over the general menu group sort key - but if there is a sort key, this will be respected first. And then within that group, you can have a different sort order.
When working with actions, we recommend you use these. Try it out by using the global menu based on the current settings rendition at the top right.
