Creating menu items

Menu items are a reference to an object that we wish to add to a menu. We have three types of menu items: Display, Output, and Action. Display is used to add forms, Output is used for reports, and Action is used for classes.

Menu items are also added as privileges to the security system. Users that aren't an administrator will not be able to see the menu items unless they are assigned a role, duty, or privilege that gives them access to the menu item's required access level.

Getting ready

We will just need a form, report, or class that we need to create the menu item for.
