Context Menu

The right-click context menus in Discover at design time and Present at runtime have two possible modes: new and legacy. The first (new) presents the context menus as compact, multi-level menus. This is typically the default and provides a cleaner, more easily readable list of items. The alternative (legacy) is a flat single list of options, and was the default structure at an earlier point in time. All included options are the same, they are simply ordered differently.

You set your choice for the New Context Menu in the following locations:

• If you are the administrator and wish to set the context menu default for all of your users, you can set this option in the Admin Client's User Defaults (Admin).
• If you want to set your own option for the context menu default, you can set this option from either User Defaults (Discover) or from User Defaults.

Configuring the New Context Menu

New installations typically display the new context menu view. Existing installations retain the legacy context menu view, so you must explicitly choose the new context menu if that is what you want displayed.

To choose which view to display, under User Defaults, navigate to User Defaults > General, where a switch allows you to toggle the new context menu view On or Off:

When the New Context Menu option is off, you'll see the flat, legacy context menus:
