About the Context Menu

For any linked object in a table or structure browser, you can right-click on the object to open a context menu. The options in the shortcut menu vary depending on the type of object you right-click.

For structured content, you can right-click anywhere on the row to open the context menu. Some pages could have different menus for different columns; and some columns could be the menu for a different item than the one listed in the first column.

The default context menu includes these options:

  • Properties > View. Shows the Properties page for that object.
  • Lifecycle. Some menus only show Lifecycle that opens the lifecycle page for the object; other pages show the Promote or Demote commands (as shown here) that promote/demote the object to the next/previous state in its lifecycle.
  • Add to Collection :
    • Add to Clipboard Collection. Adds that item to the clipboard collection
    • New / Add to Collection. Opens the Select Collection dialog box.
  • Files. For document objects, lists the files checked into that object.
  • Related Files. Lists files checked into objects related to that object.
  • All File Details. Opens the Files page for the object (combines files checked into the object with files checked into related objects).

You could see a different set of options depending on the type of object you right-clicked.

An app can define its own content menu. Those content menus include the collection options listed above.
