Understanding menu configuration

The menu configuration feauture in nGenue is designed to streamline the organizing of screens by assigning them to specific menu categories, which can then be mapped to a particular menu layout. This allows for a flexible and dynamic structure where multiple screens can be grouped under relevant categories, and these categories are arranged in a defined layout for easy navigation. You can add screens to a category, adjust their order, and ensure that each category fits into the overall menu design, making it easier to manage and customize the user interface based on configuration.
