Selecting DSS Pathnames is no mystery. Just highlight one or more pathnames (rows) in the Pathname list then click the Select button. Or, double-click on each pathname you want to select. The pathnames you select will appear in the Selected Pathnames list.

"Figure: Pathname Selection Tools" illustrates the row of buttons that are provided below the Selected Pathnames list in the DSSVue interface.

Figure: Pathname Selection Tools

Each of the buttons in the set of Selection Tools is described below:

  • Select—To add pathnames to the Selected Pathnames list, highlight (click on) the pathnames to want to add in the Pathname List then click the Select button.
  • De-Select—To remove pathnames from the Selected Pathnames list, select the pathnames you want to remove the click the De-Select button.
  • Clear Selections—To remove all the pathnames from the Selected Pathnames list, click the Clear Selections button.
  • Restore Selections—This tool works as an UNDO button for the Clear Selections option; it restores the state of the Selected Pathnames list from right before the Clear Selections button was last pressed.
  • Set Time Window—This tool does not directly operate on the list of Selected Pathnames. Instead, it is a shortcut for the Display -> Time Window… command, which allows you to set a time window for viewing and editing your selected datasets.
