21.2. Description

Collection Browser is Collections tab. The view consists of two parts. The left one is an index of available collections, where you can choose a way of data presentation and the data. The right part is a view of chosen graphs placed one by one.

21.2.1. The index of available collections

There are three buttons on the top, that allow to change a panel width which presents the index. There is a list below the buttons which allows to select a kind of collection, that we want to see. You can choose current collections, obsolete collections, that aren't updated or all available collections. There is an option below the kinds of collections which allows to select if the list shows variables for a given graph or not. If you select an option to show a list of accessible variables, for each graph a list with accessible variables, that we want to show on the graph, will be avaiable. Below the list, a selection of type devices is located. Next, the edited field is located, that allows you to entry a searching string in collections according to criterions selected above. The items, that are located below, are depended on a context of work index.

Three work contexts are accessible: browsing, searching out and an edition of selected data. The browsing is that you click on links of collection groups (they're often device equivalents). The searching lets you find needed data quickly. Passages between modes are very smooth and natural. On each stage you can select interesting data for you. During different operations previous selected data will be showed as selected to show. If you want to see all selected data, you must go to the edition mode clicking on the button . Newly selected data are remembered during a running search or through pressing any of four buttons on the bottom toolbar.
