<menu>

The menu element allows the design of a hierarchical user interface with a menu on the left of the user interface and/or in tabs for each contained subscreen (menu, form, plugin).

Usage example of the <menu> element:

<molgenis>
        <menu name="my_mainmenu">
                <form name="myfirsttab" entity="an_entity1" />
                <menu name="my_submenu">
                        <form name="mythirdtab" entity="an_entity2" />
                        <form name="myfourthab" entity="an_entity3" />
                </menu>
        </menu>
</molgenis>
