Sentence given:
"Boka genom Outlook, molnet, via smartphones/tablets eller direct på touchskärmens enkla pekmenyer där du även kan överblicka bokningar, göra egna bokningar och avbokningar samt snabbt förlänga ett pågående möte."

I can't find "point menu", and besides I am not sure that would give the right impression. Is there a common term for this sort of thing in the computer manuals?

Touch menu

Isn't this what you' looking for? Or perhaps just menu.

Right idea, I'd say!
Note from asker:
I think so, but I might just go for "menu" and leave the context to speak for itself since the word "touch" is already used in "touchscreen" and I would like to avoid using the same word twice so close together.
Peer comment(s):

agree Charlesp : I agree with Deane, and I agree with Paul. I think "menu" is sufficient, and that "pointing menu" doesnt need to be said -- not every word or part of every compound word needs to be translated.

Thanks, Charles!
agree Anna Herbst : I would probably say just "menu" as well, if it is on a touch screen it is obvious it is a "touch menu".
