Content Manager Desktop right-click menu

1. Perform a search to display records. Select a record and right-click to display these functions.

If a function cannot be performed on a record, it will not appear in the menu.

NOTE: Double-click a document in Content Manager Desktop to open a document in the associated application.

Startup

Content Manager Desktop starts by default by displaying your recent documents.

You can change that by clicking File - Options and under Starting point when searching - For a document, select where Content Manager should start a document search.

This option affects the startup screen, but also all other record searches in Content Manager, e.g. when you click a KwikSelect button to search for a record.

Alternatively, you can start Content Manager Desktop by using a shortcut on your computer with particular parameters.

This does not affect any other searches for documents.

See Command line parameters.
