Setting Menus of an Application

In development, sandbox, or runtime environments, you can customize the menus of a low-code application. These changes only apply to the current application and do not affect the original application package settings. For details about how to change the original settings in the application package, see Customizing Applications. This section explains how to set up a menu of an application, including adding one or more tabs.

Configuring the Application Menu

Log in to the Huawei Cloud Astro Zero console and click Access Homepage. The application development page is displayed.
Click in the upper left corner and choose Environments > Configuration Center.
Choose Application Configuration from the main menu.
On the application configuration page, select an application type (for example, App) and click an application.
In the navigation pane, choose Menu Settings.

The configured menu and its appearance in the runtime environment are shown on the right. In the runtime environment, the menus of installed application packages are read-only and cannot be edited directly.
Click + next to Menu Tree and choose Add Tab.

Complete the configuration and click Save.
