## 2.5. Toolbars and Menus

The toolbar above the view window contains a variety of tools that you can use to invoke actions on objects. For example, it provides tools for creating and editing objects, displaying object properties, uploading and downloading files, creating reports, and so on. The tools that are available on the toolbar depend on the type of object that is currently selected and the permissions that are set for it. Every object type has a set of actions that are defined for it. For example, the `Folder` type has a different set of actions than the `Fluent Case` type. If you have `Full Control` privileges for an object, then the complete list of allowable actions for the type is presented to you. However, if you have more restricted permissions, then there will be fewer actions available.

You can invoke an action on a selected object using the menus and buttons on the toolbar.

You can also invoke an action on an object by right-clicking and selecting items from the context-sensitive menu.

Important: Right-click context actions are not available on a tablet device. As a workaround, you can open the file, folder, or other object and use the toolbar menus to access the actions.

Note: If an object is selected in the file list window, the actions on the toolbar pertain to that specific object and not to its parent folder.
