| 11 | +# Web Report Designer Table Context Menu |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The table context menu may be opened in two ways: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +* Hover over the corresponding table, table column, or table row. Click on the ellipses (`...`) that will appear when you hover. |
| 16 | +* Open the _Explorer_ tab in the Components/Explorer area of the Web Designer and find the corresponding table. Expand the groups. Click on the ellipses (`...`) beside the item. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The exact options in the menu depend on the selected table part - see [Crosstab Areas]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/report-structure/table-crosstab-list/understanding-crosstab-areas%}). They are determined by the static and dynamic groups the column/row falls in, whether there are merged cells, etc. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Context Menu for the entire Table item |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Hover over the top left table corner known as the __Corner area__ to open the Context Menu for the entire table |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The context menu items are: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +* __Copy, Paste, Reset Style__: Use to copy the style from one table to another, or reset to the default style. |
| 29 | +* __Bring To Front/Send To Back:__ Allows you to change the order of the items in the items collection of a section. Use when the table overlaps with another item to determine which one should stay on the top. |
| 30 | +* __Cut, Copy, Paste__: Use to copy the entire table. |
| 31 | +* __Delete__: Delete the corresponding table. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Context Menu for a Table Column |

| 35 | +Hover over the top right corner of the specific table column in the __Column Groups area__ to open its Context Menu. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The context menu items are as follows. Some of the options may be hidden or disabled, depending on the context, for example, the static and dynamic groups the column falls in: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +* __Copy, Paste, Reset Style__: Use to copy the style from one table column to another, or reset the default style. |
| 42 | +* __Cut, Copy, Paste__: Use to copy the content from one table column to another. |

| 44 | +* __Insert Column__: Let you insert a new column. Available options: `Left` or `Right` of the current one. |
| 45 | +* __Insert Row__: Let you insert a new row. Available options: `Above` or `Below` the current one. |
| 46 | +* __Delete Columns__: Use to delete the corresponding columns. |
| 47 | +* __Delete Rows__: Use to delete the corresponding rows. |
| 48 | +* __Rotate Layout__: Rotate the table so that its columns become rows and vice-versa. |
| 49 | +* __Add Group__: Use to add Row/Column group. Available options for `Row Group` / `Column Group`: `Parent`, `Child`, `Adjacent Above/Left` or `Adjacent Below/Right`. |
| 50 | +* __Move Column__: Use to move a column or selection of columns. Only columns from static groups may be moved. If there are merged cells in the column, all the columns within the merged cells will be automatically selected and moved. Works only in tables and not in crosstabs. The designer automatically detects the possible moving directions. Available options: `Move Left` and `Move Right`. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Context Menu for a Table Row |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Hover over the left top corner of the specific table row in the __Row Groups area__ to open its Context Menu. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The context menu items are as follows. Some of the options may be hidden or disabled, depending on the context, for example, the static and dynamic groups the row falls in, if there are merged cells, etc.: |
