      <Paragraph>The dynamic menu is a
		combination of objects and sessions that are related to one project, displayed
		in one window. This menu provides an alternative method for performing tasks.
		Only relevant information is displayed, and you can easily start tasks.</Paragraph>

         <ListIntro> 
            <Emphasis>Appearance</Emphasis> A dynamic menu is based on
		  usability. You will find icons, colors and some special effects to display the
		  menu:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The project is mentioned
		  above the black line. Below the line, the different objects and sessions are
		  displayed.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To use the icons, refer
		  to the icon Help on the menu.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Sometimes an item on the
		  menu has a different color; the active plan, for example,.</ListItem>

         <ListIntro> 
            <Emphasis>Use dynamic menus</Emphasis> You can start a
		  dynamic menu from the menu browser. Dynamics menus are placed at the top of a
		  menu section related to that dynamic menu. You will find three dynamic menus in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp" role="package">Project</GUIRef>:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The Scope Definition
		  dynamic menu in the Project Definition directory.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The Budget dynamic menu
		  in the Project Budget directory.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The Actuals and Forecast
		  dynamic menu in the Project Progress directory. If you want to work with
		  another project, you can change the active project by clicking Select Projects
		  on the Specific menu, select another project. On the Specific menu of the
		  dynamic menu, you can find the related sessions for that dynamic menu and
		  project. From one dynamic menu, you can open another dynamic menu, you can
		  start sessions, and display structures. If the organization breakdown structure
		  is missing, the project does not use an OBS.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph> 
         <Emphasis>How dynamic is
		the menu?</Emphasis> Dynamic means that options are not available when you
		have not yet reached a certain project phase or entered transactions, depending
		on the choices you made for the project definition.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For example, in PPC, the
		dynamic menu displays whether the item is confirmed and or processed. (1 of 1)
		means that one item must still be confirmed. (0 of 1) means no items need to be
		confirmed, but one item must still be processed. In the (0 of 0) option, the
		confirm or process option in the dynamic menu are gone, because no item is left
		to be confirmed or processed.</Paragraph>
