Why Should the Global Add Menu be Used?
Global Add Menus are the preferred way to allow users to add new resources which are top-level items in your extension. (For example, you should have a Global Add for VMs, but you would not have a Global Add for VHDs for VMs.)
When Should the Global Add Menu be Used?
Having menu items for your extension in the Global Add menu only makes sense if users can create resources using your Extension.
How is The Global Add Menu used?
See the Sample Extension and Windows Azure Pack Management Portal User Interface Extensions.
