The DataSight user interface provides for intuitive data importation, review, manipulation and reporting functions within a familiar Microsoft Windows environment. This chapter provides an overview of the interface layout, commonly used mouse functions, and DataSight settings. A pointing device such as mouse, is required by DataSight to make selections (by clicking on an item). With the following simple examples, you can try the DataSight interface for yourself.

Example 1: Change the position of the DataSight window

1. Drag your mouse pointer to the top of DataSight.
2. Click and hold.
3. Drag your mouse to a desired position and drop to place the DataSight window there.

Example 2: Display the contents of a Minimized window

• Click the Maximize

On the DataSight window, you will find the following:

• Menu Panel

All functions of DataSight can be accessed from the Menu Panel. Based on your permissions some functionality may be unavailable. See your IT Administrator to resolve the issue.

See Menu Panel.

• Other Panels

Several rectangular panels are used to provide access to all components of your database, including levels, variables, saved views and filters.

Other panels also include a Main Panel which displays a default Welcome tab but is the position in which datasheets, charts and other tables will also be displayed.

See Panels.

• Status Bar

The status bar displays name of the database and server currently connected and its user at the bottom left of the DataSight window.
