Executing Queries

Data Selector queries are performed automatically when needed unless the Data Selector Auto Query preference setting is disabled. Click the Query execution icon ExecuteQueryIcon.gif in the data type view tool bar to force a query execution. A progress window opens during the query execution. Click the Run in Background button to dismiss the progress window and allow the query execution to continue. Click the Cancel button to dismiss the progress window and end the query execution.

Checking the Always run in background option causes the progress window to never appear and to always allow the query to run in the background. Background queries can still be canceled by clicking the progress icon in the lower right corner of the OpenSpirit Desktop window.
