Menu Sets

The Enterprise Architect User Interface has an extensive range of context menu options to support the work of many different user roles. Some of these menu options might not be necessary for the work you do; therefore, it is possible to show, hide and customize the menus in a Menu Set, to tailor them to your specific work practices and responsibilities.
