Logbook Pro uses a smart "dynamic" menu system that is aware of the working area currently being used, as well as the area recognized under the mouse when right-clicked. Logbook Pro is a very powerful software application that is simple to use for the basic user, however, packs a lot of power for those willing to unleash its potential. One of the great ways to discover the potential is by taking advantage of the right-click popup menus as they will provide useful information pertaining to the very area the user is working. An example of a popup menu appears below, as in the case when right-clicking in the Spreadsheet Style log area.

Figure 1. Popup Menu (Spreadsheet Style Log Area)

Notice the top most menu item "Insert Date." This particular option is only visible when the mouse cursor is in the Date column, showing the user only the available commands not only pertaining to the area being used but also the specific column of interest. Also notice how the "New Entry" is not available as Logbook Pro recognizes a new record is currently being created, therefore tailoring the available choices to ones that are pertinent to the current operation ensuring the user is only presented with actions to correctly perform, eliminating mistakes and ensuring the most accurate data.
