Main Screen


After you log in, the main screen appears.  The main screen is divided into three sections, the navigation pane, the main screen and the commands pane.

Main Screen

Navigation Pane
The navigation pane works similar to the navigation of a web browser.  Users can select a topic of interest, or go back to the previous topic.  In the displayed screen the user can either view the Inventory or the Results stored in the database.  Because this is the primary window, the user can also Quit the application.

Main Window
The main window shows the currently selected view.  For instance, the Inventory compounds view will show the compounds stored in the database.

Commands Pane
Commands related to the information displayed in the main window are shown here.  The commands or operations shown in the commands pane are related to the data currently being viewed.  For example, the Inventory compounds view will have an option to perform a substructure search to retrieve all compounds matching a given substructure.

Quicklist Window
Quicklist are a way to save and transfer objects.  For example, you can save a collection of hit compounds for later retrieval or to perform various analysis on the objects.

Resizing a Pane
Each of the panes my be resized by selecting the pane by placing the mouse over a pane until it becomes an arrow, clicking the left mouse button and dragging left or right.
