Hi guys, Working on updating server to 2.1.9, found this new "Menus" link. Could someone give me a more detailed explanation of this area? I'm assuming it's Android only, although the page doesn't say that.

Menus allow you to create lists of common actions that can be displayed on one or many screens. In most cases this involves using the Context Menu option found in the control panel when working with plugins. Older legacy plugins may not show this option but we are working to get it displayed for all plugins. Example: You create a menu titled "Settings" that has two options. Login and Device Info. You name this menu "Settings Menu" then set it as the Context Menu on several screens in your app." Comments To Quote Buzztouch "Context Menus are NOT APPLICABLE for iOS apps until we release the new Buzztouch Core for iOS shortly after iOS 7 is released to the public by Apple.

Imagine a contect menu icon in the upper-right corner of the app (optional, of course), which is basically a small drop-down table list of options, each of which can lead to another screen. Basically a simple list menu available from any screen. The top-right button is still available as an option, and I believe it resides just to the left of the context menu. Future versions of this menu idea are planned to include more features/functionality. CaskBit is correct, when iOS Core v3.0 is done, the same functionality will be available to iOS apps. Hope that helps -Chris Comments If you've used the new Android Core, then you can see them in action.
