Data Selector

Select enables you to select an data entry to work on, or to create a data entry. It opens up the Data Selector.

Data entries are divided into three groups: Defined Data, Undefined Data and Primitive Data. Click on the required option. If you click on List All, a list of data items of the relevant type is displayed.

You can select an object by typing its name in the Enter name field. If the object does not already exist you are asked if you want to create it. Wild cards are allowed in this field. Alternatively, click on List All and then scroll through the list until you find the object you want. Click on the name to select it.

You may highlight more than one object if required. Pop up the selector menu and choose an operation. Some commands are not available if you have selected more than one object.

If you simply want to create the Data Entry for a particular component while you are editing a diagram use the Edit DD command that is available from the popup menus.
