Hover-to-Display menu

Previously, the secondary-level submenu was displayed in a tree structure. NetScaler Console GUI provides a seamless navigation where the secondary menu appears on hover, revealing the submenu. This navigation elevates the viewing experience by displaying all submenu options without the need for scrolling.
