How do you add a parameter to a Web Designer menu item in version 7.1.1?

Trying to add a parameter to a menu item so I can request its value in a module.  I can add the parameter node, however, I cannot insert an identifier.

I found an example in the VI_ITShop_ShoppingCart menu item and am wondering how they created the parameter.

My workaround for now is just to copy this and add it to the menu item I need, but how would I create one from scratch?

  • Hi kballaao,
    those Parameters have to defined in the WD module in the section contextparameters. You can see the WD module like a "class" with input parameters. You can also make the parameter mandatory. By calling the "class" you have to provide those input parameters. The caller can't define parameters, the "class" doesn't know!
    Your WD module needs also the property "Allow quick navigation to this module with a URL parameter".

    See the documentation also:

  • Hi Geraldine,

    Thanks for the response.

    So I followed your recommendation of adding a context parameter to the module I want pass a value to and I am still not able to add the parameter to the menu item.

    In my example, the module I want to pass a parameter value to is CCC_Employee_Overview so I added a context parameter called "Test".  I didn't make it mandatory and I ensured that the module has the "Allow quick navigation to this module with a URL parameter" property set.

    I then tried to pass a value to this parameter through a menu item in my web project and I am still not able to select it.  The menu item is re-directing to CCC_Employee_Overview.

    Am I missing something?

  • Hi kballooa,
    you are right. Our model seems to lack this. The dropdown works fine with a normal redirection.
    I suggest to contact support.
