What this guide covers

Activate version 2.3.0 and initialise both JSON option records. The instructions below follow the supplied module’s live menu, controller, form, model and JavaScript flow.

Exact step-by-step process

  1. Deploy the complete module directory using the approved module process.
  2. Open Setup → Modules and activate CRM Menu Builder.
  3. Open Setup → Menu Setup.
  4. Confirm Main Menu and Setup Menu load.
  5. Save a harmless order change and reset it during the controlled test.

Fields, choices and supported possibilities

aside_menu_activeInitialised to an empty JSON array.
setup_menu_activeInitialised to an empty JSON array.
Database tablesNone; the module stores JSON in CRM options.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • Activation adds the options only when needed through install.php.

Expected result and verification

  • Activation completes without a validation or permission error.
  • The refreshed report, menu or saved-template page shows the expected state.
  • A second authorised user sees only the records and navigation allowed by their core CRM permissions.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Test changes with a non-production record or a controlled administrator account before wider rollout.
  • Do not use navigation visibility as a substitute for core CRM record permissions.
