Activity Context Menu
Use the activity context menu to perform most activity-specific tasks.
Ways to access
Right-click an activity to access a variety of functions. The following functions are available for activities in a time-distance cell and Gantt chart cell. Some commands are context-sensitive, so not all may be available.

Create Predecessor/Successor - Open the Create Link dialog where you can quickly define a link with a time-based relationship to the selected Activity.
Show Selection in Time-Distance View - Show a Gantt chart or Activity List selection in the time-distance view. This can be helpful when you are editing Activities in either of those non-graphical formats. The start and end coordinates of the time-distance view that opens are set by the minimum and maximum values of the selected Activity.
When you use this command, two filter icons may appear at the top of the time-distance view:
Blue filter - indicates that a user-selected filter is in use
Grey filter - Indicates that the view is automatically filtered for Gantt presentation purposes (only for a view in Default Activity presentation mode, which you can confirm in View Properties)
Both filters can be active concurrently, and can be configured on the Object Properties > Display tab, unless you are in Default Activities presentation mode (shown next to the view name in the Tilos Explorer).
If you click the blue filter icon, that filter is combined with the automatic Activity presentation filter. To disable the Activity presentation filter, you have to deactivate the Default view for the Activity presentation flag for the view. Such a filter is also automatically changed every time you want to show any Activities in that special view for Activity presentation.
Resource and Work Editor - Open the editor to see a list of all resources and cost allocations on the Activity. You can directly edit each allocation, create new allocations and even create entries within the libraries.
Enter progress - Open the Enter Progress dialog to enter progress according to the defined progress method for the selected Activity in advanced modes
Global Change (appears if several Activities have been selected) - Open the Replace Activity Data Dialog where you can replace one or more properties for selected Activities as defined in the Global Change dialog.
