What Are Context Menus?

A context menu is a variable menu that appears as a result of a user action. DivePort context menus display options that are available in the current state, or context, of the interface. Administrators and privileged users can access them from the Admin menu, by right-clicking the background of a page or clicking a chevron (The chevron that indicates a menu in a DivePort page.) that appears on pages or portlets that are unlocked for editing.
