Runtime Functions and Interactive Capabilities

From runtime, the right-click context menus expose a variety of interactive functions that let you perform further analysis of your data on the fly. The Runtime Settings dialog can be used to enable or disable these functions.

Context Menus

The right-click context menus show functionality related to the selected item; the context menu of a data visualization differs from that of a legend or slicer, for example.

The runtime context menus in Present can be streamlined by enabling the New Context Menu option from the User Defaults (General Settings).

When disabled, you'll see the legacy context menus:

Select the required functions from the context menu:
