Calling an action using the context menu
Most actions for an object can be executed using its context menu. The context menu appears upon clicking on the object with the right mouse button. The object can be selected from the tree view on the left side of the window or from tables on the right side of the window.
Calling an action using the action bar
The actions available for an object can be called using the buttons on the action bar. Moving the mouse pointer over a button will display a tooltip. If an action is not available, the button is displayed in grey and cannot be clicked.
Example:
In the following, the most common actions are described:
| Opens a form for changing the characteristics of the object. | |
| Click on this button to display the registry data of the object. When and by whom was the object registered? When and by whom was the entry changed the last time? | |
| Opens a dialog for inserting objects from the clipboard. If possible, these will be linked to the current object. | |
| Copies the object into the clipboard. | |
