# MenuItemRecord

## Overview

`MenuItemRecord` represents a single menu item within a `MenuFoundSet`, allowing access to a record’s data and its parent `foundset`. This structure enables menu items to behave as records, facilitating component interactions that treat menu items as data entries. For more information on working with menu datasources, refer to [MenuFoundSet](https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoycore/dev-api/database-manager/menufoundset).
