Context Menu: Filter Selection? – Allows the user to create a filter out of

the current selection. When this option is included in the context menu you

should also enable the ‘Context Menu: Clear Filter’ option.

Context Menu: Clear Filter? – This option should be enabled when you

have filters defined in your xml file and when you allow the end-user to

create a filter out of the current selection (‘Context Menu: Filter Selection?’

option ticked)

Context Menu: Reset Layout? – In version 6 of InstantAtlas the user has

the possibility to change the size and location of the components in the

browser window. Components can also be deleted to create the desired

layout for printing or exporting. If you enable the reset layout option in the

context menu the user can restore the layout of the report without needing

to refresh the browser window (refreshing the browser window would

include loading all of the data again).

Context Menu: Print? – Allows the user to open the print preview dialog.

If you do not wish for your report or single components to be printable then

you should not include this option in the context menu.

Context Menu: Export? – Allows the user to open the export dialog. If

you do not wish for your report or single components to be exportable then

you should not include this option in the context menu.

Context Menu: Add Text? – This option opens up a window that allows

the end-user to insert custom text in the report.

Context Menu: Add Shape? – This option opens up a window that allows

the end-user to insert custom shapes in the report.

Context Menu: About? – This option opens up a window showing the

version number of the InstantAtlas template that was used to create the

report. It also includes a link to the InstantAtlas website. We recommend

that you leave this option in the context menu so that you can refer to the

version number if you contact the InstantAtlas support team about this

report.
