Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The table was not added to an application menu in the navigation module
Custom tables must be added to an application menu in the navigation module to appear in the 'New Record' context menu. Option B is incorrect because tables extended from a parent table can appear independently if configured. Option C is incorrect because business rules do not affect navigator menu visibility; they only influence record creation actions. Option D is incorrect because the 'Create new' option is not inherited from the parent table; it requires explicit configuration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The table was not added to an application menu in the navigation module
Why this is correct
Correct. Application menus must be manually configured to include custom tables for them to appear in the 'New Record' menu.
- ✗
The table is extended from a table that is not in the navigator
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Tables can be added to the navigator independently of their parent table's configuration.
- ✗
The table has a business rule that prevents new record creation
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. While a business rule could potentially prevent record creation, it would not affect the table's appearance in the 'New Record' context menu; the menu is based on navigation configuration, not business rules.
- ✗
The 'Create new' option is inherited from the parent table
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'Create new' option is not inherited from the parent table; each table's placement in the navigator's context menu is determined by its own application menu configuration, not by inheritance.
