Database Browser

The Database Browser lets you browse through Acces' installed Frameworks in a way very similar to browsing for files on your computer. It lets you quickly navigate through a Framework for a Problem, showing information about the group you're currently at, and a picture of what any selected Problem looks like.

The Database Browser


The Database Browser is made up of four main components:

Title Bar (top of Database Browser)

Shows the CodePath you're currently browsing.

Item List (left part of Database Browser)

Shows the contents of the CodePath you're currently browsing. You can navigate through the different groups of a Framework by double-clicking on them to go down one level. To go back up one level, click the green up arrow.

Keyboard users can also use the following shortcuts to navigate through a Framework:

To add the currently selected Problem to the active Document, double-click the Problem node in the Item List, or highlight the Problem and press Enter.

Problem Thumbnail (right part of Database Browser)

Shows a picture of what the currently selected Problem looks like. This area will be blank if no Problem is selected.

Status Bar (bottom of Database Browser)

Shows a description of the group that's currently being browsed. These descriptions may be topic titles or State Framework Objectives.

The Database Browser can be a floating tool window, or it can be docked to any of Acces' four borders (the default being the top border). To switch between floating and docked modes, simply double-click the Database Browser's title bar, or drag the title bar to the desired location.
