Jack you can give action like follow :

<action>adminhtml/system_config/edit/section/your menu item</action>

http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/create-configuration-for-your-magento-extension/ this one is one of the good example.

yes that will create setting section in system/configuration but what will be the link to open it. <items module="finder"> <title>Setting</title> <sort_order>0</sort_order> <action> ???? </action>

liyakat Over a year ago

you mean you want to call your custom module with your custom table data instead of core_config_data in system configuration ?

You can use following code create admin side menu and also have action to do system/configuration.Add following code in app/code/local/[Name_Space]/[Module_Name]/etc/config.xml

      <adminhtml>
         <menu>
            <news module="news">
                <title>News</title>
                <sort_order>71</sort_order>               
                <children>
                    <items module="news">
                        <title>Manage Items</title>
                        <sort_order>0</sort_order>
                        <action>news/adminhtml_news</action>
                    </items>
                    <items1 module="news">
                        <title>Import News Data</title>
                        <sort_order>1</sort_order>
                        <action>adminhtml/system_config/edit/section/news</action>
                    </items1>
                </children>
            </news>
        </menu>
  </adminhtml>

Note that here news will be the same as section name in system.xml file.

Hi Add following code instead of <itmes>.

 <config module="finder">
                        <title>Configurations</title>
                        <sort_order>10</sort_order>
                        <action>adminhtml/system_config/edit/section/finder</action>
                    </config>

              Write down ACL code after the </menu> ending tag.  Your code will be like this 

              <acl>
    <resources>
        <all>
            <title>Allow Everything</title>
        </all>
        <admin>
            <children>
                <My_module>
                    <title>My finder Module</title>
                    <sort_order>10</sort_order>
                </My_module>
                <system>
                    <children>
                    <config>
                        <children>
                        <finder>
                            <title>finder Module Section</title>
                        </finder>
                        </children>
                    </config>
                    </children>
                </system>
            </children>
        </admin>
    </resources>
</acl>

You can refer to the link below to create admin menu in Magento2: https://github.com/jainmegha5395/admin-menu

Explanation:

You need to create menu.xml file inside \etc\adminhtml\ of your module.

Add below code inside <menu> tag.

  <add id="Custom_Module::custom" title="CUSTOM" translate="title" module="Custom_Module" sortOrder="90" dependsOnModule="Custom_Module" resource="Custom_Module::custom"/>

  <add id="Custom_Module::news" title="News" translate="title" module="Custom_Module" parent="Custom_Module::custom" sortOrder="50" dependsOnModule="Custom_Module" resource="Custom_Module::news"/>

This code will create a menu named as NEWS which comes under heading CUSTOM.
