In this section of the manual, we will take a look at all the buttons and menus of the bcs window. If you don’t know what a certain term means, you can take a look at the Glossary chapter. Most of the special terms are links to the entry in the glossary, so that you can just click it to see its description. Exceptions are dataPoint, weight, and weightPosition, as you should already know them.
This is the main UI for creating and setting up bcs
nodes. You can start it by running the script DPK_bcsUI. The window
is divided into four parts. From left to right, these are the weight
pane, the weight list, the dataPoint list, and the
dataPoint pane. Below them is the BCS Node drop-down
list, a select and a close button.

At the bottom of the UI between the Select and the Close buttons there is an area where a right-click brings up this marking menu:
