Saving the Data Selector State

The state of the Data Selector can be saved to a file so that it can be restored later. The state that is saved includes:

  • Selected data sources

  • Selected model view

  • Coordinate system and units preferences

  • Displayed data type groups and data types

  • Data type view column customizations (column order, column display format, and so on)

  • Data type view scope selections

  • Data type query filters

  • Any rows that are selected in any of the data type views

The Data Selector state is saved by clicking the save icon SaveIcon.gif in the Data Selector tool bar. The Data Selector state is saved in a file named DataSelector.ospdataselector in the OpenSpirit folder in your home directory.

The state can be saved to a different file by clicking the save as icon SaveAsIcon.gif in the Data Selector tool bar and entering a new file name in the file selection window that appears.

The Data Selector state can also be saved using the OpenSpirit Desktop's File > Save or File > Save As... menu items when the Data Selector window is the active window in the OpenSpirit Desktop.
