Element Context Menus

Both RayQC checklist interface modes, Checklist Viewer and Checklist Editor, provide a context menu for elements, which is displayed when a user right-clicks an elements display box. Especially when a checklist editor tests and re-adjusts his creation, it saves a lot of annoying scrolling and source revision effort to use these direct links and functions.

The Element Context Menu Within the Checklist Viewer

Reset Elements (Group)

This context menu option when clicked upon, resets all elements of the current group to the pre-execution state.. The option is initially disabled, when the checklist has not been executed.

Be aware:

Resetting an item may cause subsequent items to be reset as well, for example those who have conditional statements or result value dependencies related to the currently reset elements. Double-check the checklist status indicators after a reset action to get a hint regarding missing item results.

 

Run Plug-Ins (Group)

This option when selected by right clicking on a group, runs all the plug-ins which are associated with an element of the current group.

The Element Context Menu Within the Checklist Editor

Indent

This context menu option indents the selected element to the right. This option is disabled for Group elements and for the elements which are already indented to the last possible position. For example if in a checklist there are 2 elements, item 1 and item 2, at index position of 1 and 2 respectively. It will only be possible to indent the second element once. Instead of using this option from the context menu, users can also indent an element by selecting it and then using shortcut Ctrl+Right.

 

Unindent

Contrary to the indent option, the Unindent option moves the selected element horizontally to the left by removing the last digit of the index value and increasing the second last by 1. For example: Element 1.1.4 becomes element 1.2 when it is unindented.

It is not possible to unindent a group element and an element which is already at its highest possible horizontal index value. For example an element at position 1 cannot be unindented.

This behavior can also be achieved by selecting an element and using the short cut key: Ctrl+Left.

 

Delete

As the name says, this option is used to delete an element from the checklist. Please note that a checklist must have at least one group and an element within that group. Hence it is not possible to delete the last group and the last element within that group from the checklist. A user can select an element and use the keyboard key Del to achieve the same.
