About the menu (a la carte or from the menu?)

By Richard Martens

Elevator Pitch

APEX by default uses the “Navigation Menu”, the “Navigation Bar” and “Breadcrumbs”. However this is not necessarily the most convenient when having to put the application in different environments. There are alternatives, this session explains one of them which does not loose any functionality.

Description

Since all mentioned menus are lists we have options to our disposal to change the menu behaviour significantly, without loosing any built-in functionality. The session proposes ways in which you can have more in control on what happens in your menu and when. Special attention will go to authorisation of menu-items using SQL, PL/SQL and the APEX built-in authorisation mechanism.
