Menus and record lists

In record lists and from the icons that are used in records, you can work on the selected records by right-clicking and selecting an action from the menu. The available commands depend on the record list and the current selection.

Show, Show With, Show Records	There are three ways of opening and viewing a record: Show - displays the selected record, either in the show record view, or the default data sheet. Show With Select Show With Show Record to display the selected entity. Select Show With `datasheet name` to use the indicated data sheet. Show Records - lists two or more records so that you can compare the selected records and browse their field values.
Show History	Displays the audit history so you can view the changes to the current records and find out who made those changes. Note: Only available in databases that are set up to use this feature. See your system administrator.
Links	View the links and the link end entities for the selected record.

With more than two entities selected, the entities are placed at the End 2 of the link, leaving you to specify the End 1 entity.
