Starting the Data Selector
The Data Selector tool is accessed from the OpenSpirit Desktop by clicking the Data Selector tool bar icon or by choosing the Tools > Data Browser > Data Selector menu item. This causes a Data Source Selection window to open. The Data Source Selection window is used to select the sources of data that available to the Data Selector. The Data Selector tool opens when the Data Source Selection window is closed.
It is possible to open multiple Data Selector Windows within the OpenSpirit Desktop. Additional Data Selector Windows are opened by clicking the Data Selector tool bar icon or by choosing the Tools > Data Browser > Data Selector menu item while a Data Selector window is already visible. The new Data Selector window's tab shows that a number is parenthesis that indicates it is an additional Data Selector.
Multiple Data Selector Windows are useful for quickly switching between different data source selections or when positioning the Windows side by side to compare data from different data sources. See the OpenSpirit Desktop help guide for information about window layout management within the desktop.
