| Using the Tabs |
|
The top row of tabs, search, retrieve, view and help, are the kinds of features. Each of these has sub tabs. For example, as you can see from the screen shot above the search tab has four sub-tabs: Dataset List, Favorites, Recent and GCMD. There are no menus in the ODC like you find in some applications. This is because menus are more appropriate for document-based applications wheras tabbed interfaces are better for control/activity-based applications like the ODC.
To explore you can return to the web guide or investigate the tabs: |
