Is there a way to add/remove options when you click on Departments from the RTC main menu?

    Ok, I think I found the answer written somewhere on the manual.

    On the C/SIDE Introduction in Microsoft Dynamics 2009 Page section on page 4-34, there's a phrase:
    "Add the new page to the menu suite so that it is included on the Departments page."

    Two issues with this:
    1. It doesn't work? I modified the menu suite to include my custom forms, but it still doesn't show on the RTC departments page?
    2. Why do I have create a classic client form when the project is only developed specifically in RTC?

    Hi Alex,

    We have two kinds of Menu Suites.

    1 - Classic Menu Suite: starting from Menu Suite No: 10
    2 - RTC Menu Suite (Departments) : Starting from Menu Suite No: 1010

    If you add a form to Classic Menu Suite then it appears in Classic side of the Application, if you add a Page/Report on RTC Menu Suite then it appears on Departments.

    Answer to your 2 question: you don't need to create forms, if you only want to use RTC side of the Application.

    I hope it make sense!!

    Thanks

    Yes, it makes perfect sense! Thank you! Although it's not expressed very clearly on the manual... :(

    I tried to modified the 1010 and 1020 but I got a permission error even though I'm using a 6.0 developer license. But I guess this is a question for the licensing desk.

    I had this problem too. I got around it by doing the following:
    1) Export menusuite 1020 "Dept - Region"
    2) Renumber and rename menusuite 1020 to 1090 - "Dept - Company"
    3) Import the object exported in step 1.
    4) Select menusuite 1090 and design.

    You can now edit menusuite 1090, and changes should appear in the RTC.

    permission error is probably due to the fact that you have to create a new menu (in menusuite list, alt+n) and select rtc menu, and then company (or whatever you need).
    You can't modify a menu of an higer layer...

    In the properties of the item that I added to the MenuSuite, I also had to choose an option for the Department.
    In my case, I was adding a report, and set department to "Report and Analysis".

    It was only then (and after saving and compiling the MenuSuite, of course, and restarting the RTC) that I could see the report in the RTC.
