Navigating with the keyboard
Though of course the mouse is the easiest way to navigate through the Data Repository, the keyboard
can be used as well.
l
Press Tab to switch between the Repository Structure, Group Key Sets, Lookup Function
Syntax and the Close and Help buttons.
l
Press CTRL+N to add a new key within the selected group.
l
Press Ctrl+G to add a new group.
l
Press Insert to add a key set. The Add Key Set dialog will appear, allowing you to create a new
key set.
l
Press F2 to rename a group or a key on the Repository Structure pane.
l
Press Delete to remove a group or key from the Repository, or a key set from the Key Sets
pane.
Tip: You can look up these shortcuts by right-clicking the item you want to interact with, and look-
ing at the contextual menu.
The Data Selector
The Data Selector is the tool you use to choose your sample data and Metadata files, to select the
appropriate emulation, to make data selections, and to stabilize your data.
For more information about sample data, Metadata and emulation types, see the chapter "About data"
on page46.
To open the Data Selector:
l
Choose Debug > Select, on the menu.
l
Right-click a task property that may contain variables (recognizable by the color of its field label,
which is maroon by default) and choose one of the Get Data ... or Get Metadata ... options.
l
Debug your configuration and step through it until the option Debug > View Metadata gets
enabled. This happens when the Metadata file has been created by a task in the process.
The Data Selector does two things:
l
It uses the current emulation (either the emulation chosen when the sample data file was selec-
ted, or the one chosen in the last Change Emulation action task appearing above the current
task) to format the data.
l
It displays the formatted data to let you make selections easily using the mouse pointer.
It is divided in two tabs: Data and Metadata.
