PLANTA distinguishes hard-coded standard context menu commands like insert, display, edit, (un)mark and delete, the availability of which in the context menu is defined via customizing parameters and via individual context menu commands which can be created for individual data areas via customizing.
Standard Context Menu
Context Menu Command: Insert
Information
Define the following parameters for the data area that you want to receive this function in the module data area assignment level:
As a result, the Insert context menu entry is created for the corresponding data area. If the parameters have other values, no entry will be generated.
The context menu is composed of the Insert text constant and the data table name of the data area. Here, it is decisive which table the DDI stems from. You can modify this text by making an entry in the Context menu text data field.
The context menu for the corresponding area would be: Insert → Project.
Note
If you do not only want to insert but also create in this data area, you have to activate Create in addition.
Context Menu Command: Display
Note
The Display via right-click function is available for all data areas, unless the Never show parameter is activated.
Context Menu Command: Delete
The Delete function is deactivated in the context menu by default.
If the command is to be active in the context menu, activate the Delete checkbox for the corresponding data area. Here you have to make sure that the Delete module parameter under Other Module Parameters is activated as well (it is active by default when you create new modules).
