Labels of menus and submenus need to be consistent and clearly related to the content, and systems need to be easy to navigate. In this study, internet experience was a significant predictor of task performance, and it was harder for people with limited or no experience to use the systems. This finding points to the need for training and the value of making system navigation less complex. We cannot assume that all system users will have internet experience, especially those in the older cohorts. Finally, the text of PHRs needs to be simpler and less technical. Individuals with low general literacy and low health literacy find it difficult to understand highly technical medical terms. Verbal ability and education were significant predictors of performance; people with lower verbal ability and education performed less well. This finding points to the need for using simpler language and providing more supporting information to help users understand what a term means. Although overall, most participants in our studies found the PHR to be valuable and stated that it would be helpful with respect to health management, they also indicated challenges and barriers to use. This information is valuable for the designers of these systems.

A menu is a list of options from which the user selects (picks) the one required for a particular task. Picking a menu item is achieved by moving the mouse over the required item and left-clicking. There are different types of menus, e.g. pull-down, cascade, screen, toolbar button icon.

Menus are divided into four types: system menu, application menu, context-sensitive menu, and drop-down menu. System menu consists of menus related to entire system. They are always present at the top of all SAP screens. But they also change with the application being run.
Performance of mobile users with text-only and text-and-icon menus in seated and walking situations
Published in Behaviour & Information Technology, 2022
In computing, a menu of an interface is a list of options or commands presented to the system user. Menus are used in different software applications and across different computing devices (Tidwell 2010; Cooper et al. 2014; Neil 2014). Many types of menus are used, such as pie menus and linear menus (Callahan et al. 1988; Yang, Chen, and Hung 2017). Mobile websites and applications have many navigation menu patterns, such as side drawer (or navigation drawer or hamburger menu), tab bar, and gesture-based navigation (Neil 2014; Majrashi 2019; Villareal-Freire, Aguirre, and Ordoñez 2019). Regardless of the menu types, menus should be usable to allow users to find and select the targeted item quickly and easily.
