| Name | Type | Description |
|-|-|-|
| $id | String or Number | Required. A unique ID for the metadata object. When you build the application, this ID is hashed into a unique sys_id. For more information, see [ServiceNow Fluent language constructs](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/b1y7cW0gok5uzbNJ5JcSTw "ServiceNow Fluent language constructs provide additional functionality for development in source code with ServiceNow Fluent APIs."). Format: `Now.ID['String' or Number]` |
| title | String | Required. The label for the menu in the application navigator. |
| active | Boolean | Flag that indicates whether the menu appears in the application navigator. Valid values: * true: The menu appears. * false: The menu is hidden. {#appmenu-object-now-ts__ul_cxj_srr_4bc} Default: true |
| roles | Array | A list of variable identifiers of Role objects or names of roles that can access the menu. For more information, see [Role API - ServiceNow Fluent](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/m41jSxLL4sPO3X7b_ek1BQ#role-api-now-ts "The Role API defines roles [sys_user_role] that grant specific permissions to users of an application."). |
| category | Reference | The variable identifier of a menu category \[sys_app_category\] that defines the navigation menu style. To define a menu category, use the [Record API - ServiceNow Fluent](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZgSD9CwRLbWqLhdTkFJpZA#record-api-now-ts "The Record API defines records in any table. Use the Record API to define application metadata that doesn't have a dedicated ServiceNow Fluent API."). For general information about menu categories, see [Customize menu categories](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=customize-menu-categories&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US). |
| hint | String | A short description of the menu that displays as tooltip when hovering over it. |
| description | String | Additional information about what the application does. |
| name | String | An internal name to differentiate between applications with the same title. |
| order | Number | The relative position of the application menu in the application navigator. Default: 100 |
| $meta | Object | Metadata for the application metadata. With the installMethod property, you can map the application metadata to an output directory that loads only in specific circumstances. $meta: { installMethod: 'String' } Valid values for installMethod: * demo: Outputs the application metadata to the metadata/unload.demo directory to be installed with the application when the Load demo data option is selected. * first install: Outputs the application metadata to the metadata/unload directory to be installed only the first time an application is installed on an instance. {#appmenu-object-now-ts__ul_n3q_y3s_42c} |
| $override | Object | Fields and their values provided to configure fields that aren't included in a ServiceNow Fluent API or to override an existing field. Aviso: Type safety isn't enforced for fields configured with the $override property. $override: { field: value, ... } |

{#appmenu-object-now-ts__table_vy2_525_jq}  

    import { ApplicationMenu } from "@servicenow/sdk/core";

    ApplicationMenu({

    export const appCategory = Record({
       table: 'sys_app_category',
       $id: Now.ID[9],
       data: {
          name: 'example',
