What It Is

Menus are PeopleSoft’s classic navigation containers. Each menu (PSMENUDEFN) holds a set of bars, each bar a set of items (PSMENUITEM), and each item points to a component the user can launch. Even in a Fluid-dominant world, classic menus matter for security: Permission List authorizations are granted on menu/component pairs, so understanding which menu owns a component is fundamental to access analysis.

What This Consolidates

In App Designer:

  • Open the menu to see bars and items
  • Double-click each item to confirm the target component
  • Right-click items individually to drill into the component

In psLens, the menu detail page shows the full item list with the component each item launches. Clicking the component name jumps you into a view that already has the menu reference loaded.
