To view the menu items defined for each menu, double-click the menu name. You can also click the round symbol (on UNIX) or the plus (+) symbol (on Windows) that is shown to the left of the menu name. The menu items are shown in the order in which they appear in the event list and Conductor. You can collapse a list of expanded menu items by clicking the round symbol (on UNIX) or the minus (-) symbol (on Windows) that is shown to the left of the menu name. The following table describes the icons that are used to represent menus and menu items.

Within an expanded menu structure, tool names are shown in the format: Title (Tool name), where Title represents the tool name as it will appear in the event list or Conductor menu, and Tool name is the name defined for the tool during its creation. Tool and submenu titles may also include the ampersand (&) character.

For example, &Acknowledge allows a user to press A instead of using the mouse to select the item.
