2.6 Some Helpful Shortcuts

In addition to the tool bars and other buttons on the window, Discoverer Desktop has built-in shortcuts to help you work more efficiently.

2.6.1 Right Mouse Support

Clicking the right mouse button when the pointer is on various features of the window produces a pop-up menu with context-sensitive commands specific to that feature. This shortcut helps you choose commands quickly without having to use the menus. Figure 2–33 shows samples of right-click menus. There are many others for the other features. Note: Bitmaps are saved in the database along with the Workbook. If Discoverer Desktop cannot find the original bitmap file, it uses the bitmap stored in the database. Note: You can also double-click on a Worksheet’s name tab to display the Rename Sheet dialog. 2-22 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Desktop Figure 2–33 Sample Right-Click Menus Key to Figure 2–33 :
