Create a context menu

You can create a user-defined menu for a cell, paragraph or table in CaseView.

Notes:

  • Cells can support two context menus: one activated on right-click, and one activated on left-click. You can select which menu you want to customize in the Edit Cell dialog.
  • Each context menu contains a version field that is used to track your updates to your context menus. This helps to prevent your menus from being overwritten when you update knowledge libraries.
