Menus

DataBlast Application Menu

The DataBlast Application Menu has options for settings and system maintenance.

Quick Access Toolbar Menu

The Quick Access Toolbar has icons for Refresh, Exit...Maintenance, Save Changes, Abandon Changes, Print, Undo and Redo as applicable for the context.

Ribbon Menu

You can select ribbon menu icons using the mouse, or using your keyboard. To select the active ribbon menu tab, press Alt. Use Up, Down, Left and Right keys to move between ribbon menu tabs and icons. Press Enter to activate a selected icon.

Double-click a ribbon menu tab name to collapse or expand the ribbon menu area.

The active module or functionality determines which ribbon menus display:

Context Menus

Context menus display options that are relevant to that context; for example, Import Drill Pattern for a mine site. Context menus are used extensively in the DataBlast Items Tree. Right-click a tree node to display context menu options.

Note: The active module affects which context menu options are available. For example, if you right-click a drill pattern while in the Design Module, you can open the drill pattern in design mode. However, this context menu option is not available while you are in any other module.
