How to: Create a Navigation Menu in a LightSwitch HTML Client App
In addition to the standard navigation in a LightSwitch HTML Client app, you can provide a navigation menu that allows users to jump directly to another screen. At run time the menu can be accessed by choosing the downward arrow that is added to the title bar.

Note
If you create a Common Screen Set, the navigation menu is automatically created for you. See Choosing a Screen Type for an HTML Client of a LightSwitch App.
To create a navigation menu
In Solution Explorer, open the shortcut menu for the HTMLClient project node and choose Edit Screen Navigation.
In the Navigation menu structure list, open the Include Screen list, and then choose the screen that you wish to add.
Note
Screens that require a parameter don’t appear in the list and can’t be added to the navigation menu.
To change the order of menu items, choose the Move up or Move down button in the right margin.
