Your menus can be exported to an XML file. The XML file structure makes the comparison of multiple menus possible, and the XML menu data can be archived for future use in a database or similar system. If you are working with an online ordering integrator, they may require the XML file to build your online menu.
The structure of an exported XML menu file is self-explanatory, and can be visually compared with your menu in Menu Designer. The menu data is divided into three sections in the XML file:
•MetaData: contains statistical information about the menu, such as menu title, author, effective and expiry dates, and version.
•Settings: contains the menu's global settings from the menu Root Tabs
•Children: contains the menu's entire Root node structure.

Hint We recommend that you create and view XML copies of your menus to become familiar with the entire structure. |
