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 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?
