   * 1. Language.<br />
        Decide in which language you want to show your menu-item (en=english, fr=french, nl=dutch, etc). If the installed language of your browser is the same as in this menu-item, the browser will read this installed language.<br />
        The amount of languages you want to install per menu-item is allmost endless.
   * 2. Task (or Title).<br />
        Name this menu-item (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item).
   * 3. Tab Text.<br />
        If your Cargo Office owns a coloured button menu in the topframe, a coloured tabbutton is made when inserting a text here. It's better to keep the text short then.
   * 4. Task Description.<br />
        Add a description about this menu-item. What it is about, etc.
   * 5. Part of (sub-)Menu.<br />
        Insert the (sub-menu) location, the place where you want to show this menu-item.<br />
        The menu-system consists of different levels. The highest level is "frontoffice" (or backoffice if you want to place a particulair menu-item inside your backoffice.) For every sublevel you have to use the following element "-&gt;".<br />
        For instance, a second level could be adressed like this: "frontoffice-&gt;orderentry". If a menu-item is placed under this second level "orderentry", this second level should exist. This can be arranged in (7).<br />
        If you add the menu-item (by using "Add new menu item") and you are already at the level you want to have it inserted, the correct submenu will allready be filled.<br />
        (if you're feeling insure, check with an already installed menu-item).<br />
        _Note._ The new menu-functions recognized by the colored buttons on top are named frontoffice3" and "backoffice3".
   * 6. Sequence in (sub-)Menu.<br />
        If there are more menu's under the same menu-header, you can add a sequence number. The lowest number is showed on top of that particulair menu-block.
   * 7. URL.<br />
        The actual URL of the menu-item you want to show.<br />
        In general you've got two possibilities:
      * A. The URL can refer to a menu-block header (the darker grey).<br />
           Therefor you have to start with: "showMenux.php?menu=" adding the particulair block you want, ie: "frontoffice-&gt;newblock".<br />
           All together you end with something like this: "showMenux.php?menu=frontoffice-&gt;newblock".<br />
           (if you're feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item)
      * B. The URL can refer to a menu-item. This can be the extra webpage you've created before or a webpage somewhere else on the internet.
         * 1.<br />
           An extra weppage you've created before by [[ExtraWebpageFunction][User Definable Pages]].<br />
           You have to start with this part: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page="<br />
           Then you have to add the name of the page you've created, e.g.: "page1NL".<br />
           <i>Note:</i> the name you add has to be exactly the same as the name you've created with your extra webpage function.<br />
           All together you end with something like this: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page=page1NL".
         * 2.<br />
           Some weppage from the internet.<br />
           Fill in the correct URL of the webpage you want to add, e.g.: "http://www.bbc.co.uk/"
   * 8. Target Frame.<br />
        The cargoOffice consists out of different frames. Depending on the frame target you insert, your menu-item is shown.<br />
        Check with allready installed menu-items for available options.
   * 9. User level. <br />
        If you forgot to whom you wanted to show this menu-item, read [[AboutUserlevels][Explaining user levels]].
   * 10. Status.<br />
         Keep active or show inactive if you want to hide this menu-item.<br />
         Inactive menu-items are not visible for users lower than level 70.
   * 11. System ID.<br />
         You can use this tool to regulate access to this menu-item.<br />Choose the system that correspondents with the [[AddUsers][users]] you want to give/restrict access..<br />If you're importing a self created webpage or a webpage from the internet add: "backoffice".
   * 12. Help Text.<br />
         The added text is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item.
   * 13. Picture.<br />
         The added picture is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item.
   * 14. HTML file.<br />
         The added HTML file is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item.
   * 15. Buttons.<br />
         Click "Submit" when adding this menu-item or click "Cancel" if you want to cancel your action.
