Octopus provides 3 different context menus:

Object context menu on object nodes in trees

and in the header of an object document window

The grid data display has two different context menus depending on the position within the grid:
Column Header Section:

Details Section:

Context menu items I'd like to point out:

• Save Layout / Reset Layout
  Allows to memorize your grid layout including grouping, sorting, visible columns, filters etc. so that you have the same layout when you open the same grid next time.
  For Queries, one layout per query can be stored.
• Cell Range Selection
  If checked, you can select any rectangular portion of the grid. This can be useful if you want to copy and paste to Excel or other applications
• Database
  Contains basic database operations such as deleting the object(s)

Most data grid displays within the Octopus UI show only a subset of all available columns by default.

To see all availabe coluns, right click in the column header section of the grid and select 'Column Chooser' from the context menu.
A floating window appears where you can see additional columns and drag them into the grid or select them by double clicking.

Starting with Octopus 1.8.5 you can zoom and pan all line and bar charts.

Use the ctrl key and the mouse wheel to zoom into a chart. Once zoomed in, you can pan the chart with your mouse.
This way you can see all details of the chart, even if you selected a large amount of data.
