Defines how relationships expand in the Desktop Client.
Expand to new window - Displays items in a new window.
Expand to tree - Displays items in the tree view.
Expand to New Items window - Displays items in the New Items window.
Show submenus on context menus - Groups action shortcut menu commands as submenus under the Actions menu, and groups relationship shortcut menu commands as submenus under the Relations menu.
-
The Show submenus on context menus preference refers to shortcut menu options only.
-
If the Show submenus on context menus box is cleared, both action and relationship commands appear in one list of the shortcut menu instead of submenus.
-
This option does not affect the default grouping of the submenus.
Always update Properties window to reflect selected item - Enables or disables the display of properties values. If this item is turned on, right-clicking an item displays its properties in the Properties window.
Windows Classic menu style - Enables or disables the display of Windows-style menus. If this option is turned off, the menus display as web-style menus.
The Windows Classic menu style option is available for users with graphic cards that are incompatible with SmartPlant
Foundation. To resolve the incompatibility issue, enable the Windows Classic menu style feature.
Turn off look ahead on filtered and multi-path relationship (edge) expansion - Turns off the Look Ahead feature on shortcut menu options that apply to relationship expansions that traverse multiple objects (using edges). This option applies only when the Look Ahead feature is enabled. Selecting this option can improve performance for shortcut menus because the Desktop Client queries the database for less information when you right-click an object.
