# Menu

## Overview

The `Menu` object is a reusable design-time entity that represents a list of menu items. It can be utilized across various components and services, promoting consistency in menu design.

## Functionality

The `Menu` object includes several key properties. The `comment` property allows adding programmer notes or other descriptive information about the menu's purpose. The `encapsulation` property defines the menu's visibility, with options such as "Public" (accessible across modules) or "Module Scope" (restricted to the same module). The `name` property serves as the unique identifier for the menu. Additionally, the `styleClass` property allows associating CSS classes for styling purposes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoycore/object-model/solution/menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
