Context menu options

Some system operations are possible through the context menu. The context menu can be configured to be shown by pressing and holding an empty area of the screen for a few seconds or through the use of an action.

For security reasons, it is advisable to configure the Context Menu to be accessible only using a "macro". In this way, it is possible to configure the use of the macro to authorized users only. (See "Runtime" for details)
