The Top Menu is a browser menu. It uses an inline style. However, you can change the appearance of the Top Menu by creating the file FR:\TOP.CSS. For example, to change the backcolor to a gradient orange color, put the following lines in TOP.CSS.

body {
  background: White url(/frh/jcgtp/bg_orgb.png);
}

The Top Menu entries may be configured. Use Top Menu Setup to insert or change the Top Menu entries.

  8. The Read-Write Access is shown for each Top Menu page if passwords are installed. The Read-Write Access field displays all 7 levels: (Level 7, Level 6, Level 5, Level 4, Level 3, Setup, Program, Operator). A value of 1 indicates that level is granted read-write access. A value of 0 indicates that level has read-only access.

    Press the button to change the read-write access. A dialog box with checkboxes for all 7 levels will be displayed. Checking the box allows read-write access.
