The Manage right-click menu, shown in the Introduction section, is available whenever you right-click a supported item in the iFIX WorkSpace system tree. You must be logged in to the Change Management Server for the Manage right-click menu to be available. Otherwise, the only item in the system tree that displays the Manage menu is the node name, with the Logon option.
After you log on to the Change Management Server from iFIX, the Manage commands are available from the right-click menu on files and folders that store custom information about your projects and work environment.
For instance, the Picture folder and individual pictures within that folder all display the Manage right-click menu option when selected. Applications such as the Cross Reference Tool do not. However, with the integrated Change Management functionality, you can double-click on an application in the system tree, such as the Cross Reference Tool, to start it.
The following table describes the items in the WorkSpace's system tree from which the Manage right-click menu is available.
