1.To add a new drop-down menu (in this example we call it newname), first locate and expand the main menu as explained in Finding a menu in the configuration.

The list of drop-down menus may look like this one (example from FRED4_TABITEMS.XML):

dropdownmenus

2.Click before a line where you want to insert a new drop-down menu, and then press Enter.

3.Click in the empty line, and then write <l:ShellMenuItem Header="newname">. Press Enter.

4.Write </l:ShellMenuItem> and then press Enter.

5.Add options to new menu, one-by-one, as explained in Add a new option to an existing menu.

6.Save changes.

7.Re-import the XML file as explained in Re-importing configuration file in the database after making changes.
