User Menus allow the Designer to create menus that the end user will see in their Microsoft Excel ribbon when they open an X-Author App in runtime. There are two types of menu items:

• Configurable menu buttons that execute the Action Flows.
• Optional standard buttons that the Designer can use to allow the end user to add rows, delete rows, use special paste functions, and have access to embedded X-Author Chatter.

User Menus are divided into two areas:

• Groups: These divide the menu buttons into logical areas for the end user. For example, on the X-Author Designer menu, the groups are Create, Build, Save, Migrate, and Access.
• Buttons: These are the menu commands within each menu Group. At least one group and one button within that group are required.
  Note: An X-Author for Excel app can show up to 10 Button Groups, with each group containing a maximum of 10 buttons.
