Displaying commands in the context menu
If you work with extension functions or design new forms, you must decide where the commands for them are to be offered in the context menu. objectiF RM allows you to assign commands for creating and editing an existing context menu group or to create your own for enhancement functions.
Determine group for classification
The context menu is divided into different groups. Each individual entry can be regarded as a group.
For most context menu commands, you can display the group name and the position. Call up the context menu and move the mouse over a command. Do not click! Press the F1 key. A message appears in the output that provides information about the name of the command, the group name and the weighting.
The command is called Derive test cases, the group is Frequently used commands for creating and the position is 3.

Sorting commands for forms in the context menu
When you create new forms, you must assign commands to create and edit an existing context menu group. If the forms are not assigned to a group, they are not displayed in the context menu and therefore cannot be selected and used.
- Open the form with Edit.
- Switch to the Create Command or Edit Command tab and select the Display at Top Menu Level option.
- Select a group from the drop-down menu and specify a weight. The higher the value, the lower the commands are ranked. If a command has a weight of 0 and you want another command to be displayed before it, you can also work with negative values.
- Save with OK.
Commands for extension functions
If you have created an extension function and have not made any further settings when creating the command, then the command to execute is offered to you by default via the context menu command Run Extension Function/ [Your command].
Alternatively, you can specify a group for extension functions or create a user-defined group.
- Open the Configure Extension Function commands view from the backstage menu with Project/ Extension Function commands.
- Select the extension function and choose Edit from the context menu.
- Under Positioning, select the Display on top-most level in menu option.
- Select a group from the dropdown menu and enter a weight. If you want to have your own group for extension functions, choose User defined and enter a name in the field below. The higher the value, the lower the commands will be. If a command has the weight 0 and you want another command to be displayed before it, you can also work with negative values.
- Save with OK.
