                icon = 'landmark'
                id = 'ledgers'
                event = 'actionbutton'
                action = 'fetchadminsubpage'
                table = 'dbledger'
                displaytype = 'datatable'
                url = 'getdatatable'
                acl = 70
                submenu = false
                parent = 'content'

            # Transactions
            [[admenu.topleft.content.submenu]]

                label = '9999:Transactions'
                title = '9999:Generates a cash book for a bank account with analysis'
                icon = 'cash-register'

                table = 'dbtransaction'
                displaytype = 'cashbook'
                url = 'getcashbook'
