The Context menu

In Monitor ERP there is a context menu which you open by right-clicking.

The context menu has different contents depending on where in the procedure window you open it. It is available in input fields, boxes, lists, tables, as well as column headings in tables and columns in lists. The context menu can be seen as an alternative to the function menu, for example to link to other procedures. Read about the contents of the function menu and the toolbar in the topics The Function menu and Toolbar.

The context menu can also contain certain special functions. This applies if you open the menu in input fields, lists, column headings in tables, and columns in lists.

In the topic Context menu in the online help function you will find more information about these special functions.
