About the history extension manager popup menu items

The history extension manager popup menu has the following items.
Item Description
Views Provides a submenu that lists all the available views of the history extension manager.
Actions > Update History Id Refreshes the History Id after a rename. It applies the formatting property (as designated by the enclosing % signs) of the Name Format property to the Id of the History Config Id.

For example, if the History Name property under a history extension is set to %parent.name%, the History Config Id is initially named based on this parent display name. However, if you rename the parent component, the History Config Id property does not automatically or immediately change. The Update History Id action invokes a renaming of the History Config Id based on the formatting property, so if the parent component (in this example case) is changed, the Update History Id action changes the Id property and, if different from the history name, changes the history name as well.

Go To Point Displays the property sheet view of the point associated with the selected entry.
Go To History Displays the default view of the history associated with the selected entry.
Enable Collection Starts the collection process for the selected entries.
Disable Collection Stops the collection process for the selected entries.
Rename History Changes the name of the selected history. This menu item displays the Set History Name window. You can only rename one history at a time.
Edit System Tags Opens the Set System Tags For Selected History Extensions window. Use this window to edit system tags associated with a single history extension or perform batch edits when you have more than one history extension selected.
