Bonitasoft Application Menu API

Manage the set of menus in an application. This set of menus enables a user to navigate to the application pages. There are two types of menu item: A top-level item appears in the navigation bar of the application. A top-level item can be clickable, leading to a page, or can be a parent for a menu of clickable items. A child menu item becomes visible in a menu when the parent is selected. A child menu item is clickable and leads to a page. Each menu item has an index that defines the position in the menu. For a top-level menu item, this is the position in the the navigation bar counting from the left. For a child menu item, this is the position in the menu counting from the top.
