DiveMaster software is designed for a developer audience. DiveMaster does not have a typical menu structure. In its place, DiveMaster has a start page that consists of mostly columnar information that can be configured using context-sensitive menus.
To manipulate what and how end users view the data contained in models, DivePlans, cPlans, and cBases, developers use the DiveMaster context menu options, keyboard controls, and drag and drop capabilities. This topic describes the context menus that are available in DiveMaster.
In the following graphic, the Models section of a consolidated DivePlan contains three models and a nested DivePlan.
Notice that the three context menus contain mostly common options, but, depending on the file type, there are different options that are unique to that file type. For example, the context menu for the nested DivePlan (#3) does not contain the Alias column names option, but it does have the Open nested DivePlan in new window option.
The following table describes the context menu options available in the Models container:
| Option | Description | Keyboard Equivalent |

With the context menu options in the Elements section of the DiveMaster start page, you can create, modify, move, and delete categories. What options appear in the context menu depend on the context and action that you want to perform on the page. For example, DiveMaster 
displays a context menu when you right-click the Categories folder, which is the first level in the DiveMaster console hierarchy.
The following table describes the context menu options available at the first level of the console:
