Other Features
Menu Bar
The menu bar gives access to some of the more general functions in the Deltanji environment. The options that are available to each user may vary depending on their access rights. Options and their access rights are controlled by the system manager in the menu setup options.
The function of the menu bar options can also vary depending on what is selected in the folders panel. For example, if you have navigated to view a list of change requests, the File -> New opens a dialog window for the creation of a new change request. However, if you have navigated to view a list of objects, the File -> New opens a dialog window for the creation of a new object.
Right-click Context Menu
Right-clicking on items in the main panel give you access to a list of actions to perform on the item. These vary depending on the type of item. For example, right-clicking on an object may give you options such as Merge and Cancel, whereas right-clicking on change request does not give you these options.
The context menu also gives you the option of initiating a transfer, and allows you to select from a list of transfer types that are available for that item (such as Check out, Check in, Register, etc.)
The Work List
The work list is at the right-hand end of the select toolbar. It allows a selection of items to be grouped and then have an operation applied to them. It can be used to add components to an object version or to add object versions to a change request.
