A Manager is opened whenever the appropriate function is activated. E.g. function Library > Cross-sections opens the Cross-section manager, etc.
In general, the particular manager is also opened when a general procedure for the definition of a new database entity is invoked. In such a case, the opening of the manager is usually one of the first steps of the procedure.
From the user’s point of view a database manager is a standard Windows modal dialogue. That means that:
it is opened via a function associated with it,
it must be closed before the user can continue with the started multi-step action of before another function can be activated.
it contains control elements that provide for actions and tasks that are accessible from within the manager.
The operation is simple and straightforward and is clear from the description of layout of a database manager.
Note: The Particular manager can also be opened from various property dialogues that contain an item associated with the particular database manager Such an item contains a button to open the appropriate manager.
A cross-section manager opened from within the property dialogue of a new 1D member.
