| A menu [[Form|form]] is used to present a set of WorkXpress [[Field Type - Link|links]] as navigational choices to your [[User|user]], where the user can then click on one of those links to navigate to another area of your application. From within a menu, all WorkXpress links can also launch [[Action Type - Launch Flyout|flyout menus]], run [[Action|actions]] or open [[Form Type - Page|pages]] or other [[Form|forms]]. Opening pages or forms can be done inline, or in popups. Combine these various features for a rich, fully functional navigational control. Use [[Form Type - Tabs| ribbon or tab forms]] as substitute navigational methods to a menu. | A menu [[Form|form]] is used to present a set of WorkXpress [[Field Type - Link|links]] as navigational choices to your [[User|user]], where the user can then click on one of those links to navigate to another area of your application.
