 Menu & Menu Items

You can create menu & menu items to provide access to forms, reports, classes, jobs, and queries in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

There are 3 types of Menu Items:

Display Menu item - This object is used to contain menu items that reference runnable objects which are primarily for presenting data to the user such as forms.

Output Menu item - An output menu item should have the sole purpose to print a result, mostly used for referencing classes. Used for reports.

Action Menu item - As the name says it, you should create a menu item under this folder for your runnable object has an action to perform, for example creating or updating data.

So choosing between these three is on the developer’s sole discretion and I hope now you’ll be able to make a better choice for your scenario. A basic thumb rule is:

Display – for Form
Output – for Report
Action – for classes
