Modifying the Tools menu
In the AOT, Dynamics AX contains the menus section, which holds all the user menus. Although most of them correspond to a specific module, there are several special system menus. For example, the MainMenu menu is a top menu that holds references to all module menus and allows navigation throughout the system. The GlobalToolsMenu menu represents File | Tools in the user workspace and contains shortcuts to commonly used user functions. The DevelopmentTools menu represents the Tools menu in the development workspace and contains tools for a developer.
In this recipe, we will demonstrate how system menus can be modified. We will add a link to the Online users form in the DevelopmentTools menu.
