Q: How do I find a Menu Uid?
A: To find a menu UID you need to activate System information (View > System Information). Now using the top menu, navigate and hover over the menu item you wish to get the id for.
Now you should be able to see the menu-UID in the lower-left corner of the B1 Client.

Q: Can you tell me if it is possible and if so, how to put a golden arrow on a row-level UDF?
A: Unfortunately, this is not possible to do. What you can do is to create a validation that clicking on the desired field in the row will trigger a macro to open the needed master data or another window. So basically, we are simulating the behavior of a golden arrow.

The macro can look as follows:

• Activate(the desired menu UID);
• Transfer($[$The UDF on the row]|$[$the relevant field in the window you activated]);
• Click($[$click find]);
