What do you call JMP's red triangles?

 

The Red Triangles in JMP reveal contextual drop down menus that show relevant commands. JMP features contextual menus accessed via small red triangles throughout the software. Some JMP users call them hot spots, inverted red triangles, or just triangles.Feel free to Comment below on what you call them.

Narration:  
When selected, the red triangles reveal contextual drop down menus allow us to customize output in the moment, depending on our analytic needs.
So basically we’ll get different options when we select them depending on where your at in JMP.
Looking at some quick sample data in JMP, we have a Fit Y by X bivariate report.
Here with the red triangle we can Fit a Line or Mean and toggle on the data points.
In the same report under Linear Fit that red triangle let’s us adjust things like regression line color.
So if you need something related to where you’re at in a data formatting step or analysis, you’re just a JMP red triangle click away.

After a couple of days of using JMP I've been calling them "dropdown triangles" but now I'm switching to hot spots!

Depending on the audience, I call them red triangles, hot spot or popup menu.
