Selecting a line of measure with an expression
The input box used to select sources is also used to select a specific line of measures.
Thus, writing an expression - WITHOUT validating it (neither Enter, not the “Go”
button) – and using the two arrows on the right side of the input box enables you to
select the previous/following measure line that corresponds to the expression. The “up
arrow” and "down arrow” keys, or the mouse wheel also let you switch to the previous or
the next measure respectively. If the expression is empty, then the previous/following
line will simply be selected.
Deselect
Deselecting the line is done with a simple mouse click in the measure panel (outside a
web link or a button).
Prevented behaviours
If a line of measure is selected, some behaviours are be automatically prevented:
 The headline of the measure panel remains the one associated to the selected line,
even if the mouse moves outside the corresponding line (this enables you in
particular to perform a sort on this table);
 Moving over the other sources in the view with the mouse will not scroll through the
associated measures any more.
Checking the measures
Menu: Edit => Select …, Unselect…
Contextual menu: Select…, Unselect…, Keep…
A small coloured square appears on the left of the line of
measures. The colour code is linked to the data origins. With
this square, the lines can also be checked and thus the
corresponding sources, so that they can be easily found later
on.
Two menus let you manipulate the checked sources:
 The contextual menu appears directly in the panel of measures (right click or CTRL
click):
 The main menu “Edit ’:
In the view, sources for which the lies of measures are checked appear with a magenta
square instead of the usual green one.
