'Only one dashboard can be auto opened per menu' message in 3.1 Custom Menu design
Problem
Why does the system disallow creation of a custom menu with more than one program set to Auto Open? I am trying to make a menu where Activity Management and Pass Management both AutoOpen and am getting a message that reads, 'Only one dashboard can be auto opened per menu. The 'ARActivitymain'' menu item already has this toggled on.'
Solution
This is a system limitation, hardcoded into the program in build 3.1.06.03. The logic allows only one (1) program to auto open from a menu. Prior to this change, the system would open one of the menu items and not the other, but the user had no way of knowing which menu item would open.
Since the logic allows only one (1) program to auto open anyway, we thought it best to disallow the addition of more than one set to auto open and to stop the users from doing it with the message described above.
