Add and change content in tables

In most windows and standard tables in ACE Admin you can choose how you want to work. What you can do by clicking on a button or achieved with a function key is often also found in context menus.

• The menus are opened with a right-click and via the context menu key on your keyboard.
• The content of the menus vary depending on if you click on the table header or elsewhere.
• The menus contain options such as Add, Delete, Edit depending on what is applicable for the current part of a table. In some tables you find the Gridlines option.
