Action Menu

Description

The menu contains additional actions and is visible in the lower left corner of all pages, which have actions defined. These can be manually created, or created by the application to provide functionality available on the current page. Such as deleting registrations on an order lines page.

All menu items can be shown, or hidden, as well as ordered individually. That way, menu items which are most important can be moved around to fit the specific use case.

Also known as "Burger Menu"
