Customize the Context Menu

You can tailor the Context menu so it has the navigation and chart actions suitable for your specific presentation.

Results are divided into tabs, showing results for the current presentation topic and global results across all public, private, and shared Digital Boardroom presentations you have access to. Use the menu to change the number of results per page, or to change the level of granularity displayed. You can also turn on or off Live Search, which loads search results as you type. Searching for the text "Topline" in the current Finance topic returned several charts in the Profit & Loss story page. Selecting a result opens that page in a temporary window for viewing. You can also select to change the active page of the current presentation to that result.
