About the Characteristics Tab Context Menu

The Characteristics tab context menu contains actions specific to data elements tagged as characteristics. To access these actions, right-click in the left column of the tab. The context menu options that are available depend on the selection in the editor. For example, the list of context menu options that appear when you right-click in the white space is different than the list that appears when you right-click a characteristic.
