===Navigating the file tree===
 
  
Menu items containing one or more files (file collections) can be expanded/collapsed to show/hide their sublevels. Any such item, like a database, a folder, a track or a matrix library, has a white horizontal arrowhead to the left of its icon and name in the file tree area.

For information about working with '''tables''' in the [[document pane]] [[Table document|see the page]].
*click on the white arrowhead (the arrowhead will become black and downward),or

*click on the item name and then on the '''Expand/collapse''' icon in the [[repository pane toolbar]] above, or
+
*right-click on the item and select the '''Expand/collapse''' option from the context menu.

+
*right-click on the item and select the '''Expand/collapse''' option from the context menu
+
+
If the menu expands beyond the current visible area, use the horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

===Handling files===
 
When the mouse pointer hovers over a file name, it will gain a faint-bluish background.
 
  
Upon a single click on a file name, its background will turn into a persistent light blue, and '''information about this file''' will be displayed in the property inspector tab of the Info Box.
 
 
Double-clicking on a file name will '''open''' it under a new tab in the document pane, and the file name will be emphasized in bold as long as the corresponding tab is in the document pane’s foreground. Only files with an icon attached can be opened this way.
 
 
Files can also be opened by:
 
*clicking on the file name and pressing the '''Open...''' icon in the [[repository pane toolbar]], or
 
*right-clicking on the file name and selecting the '''Open...''' option from the context menu.
 
 
Similarly, you can '''delete''' chosen files by clicking on the '''Remove''' option in the [[repository pane toolbar]] or the context menu.
 
 
Most files can be '''exported'''. When the function is activated, a selection of different formats is provided for the export file to be generated. It is also available through the icon [[File:WebAction-tree-export_element-icon.png]] in the [[repository pane toolbar]]
 
 
While the Open, Remove and Export options are present and work for nearly any file, the rest of the available operations is different among distinct file types.
 
 
===Selecting input files===
 
All analysis tools, and likewise all prepared workflows, require input data from a file in the [[repository pane]]. The respective file can be loaded into an analysis tool
 
*by simple drag-and-drop of the file from the repository area into the corresponding field in the document pane, or
 
*by clicking into this field and making the selection from the directory which opens.
 
 
Multiple selections can be done only in the second way.

BioUML workbench interface.
This page or section is a stub. Please add more information here!

In either version the platform has a WIMP graphical user interface.

Both in the BioUML workbench and BioUML web edition the following areas can be found (see the figures):

A — the tabbed repository pane, where you find a collection of Databases, the uploaded Data files and the available Analyses methods (under the corresponding tabs), organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Here you can also see a list of Users involved with the current project.

B — the document pane (aka main pane or workspace), which is the part of the window where contents of projects and databases are viewed and handled. There can be as many tabs in the pane as there are diagrams, workflows, tables etc. opened in the workbench at the moment.

C — the information box containing tabs for the property inspector, which displays information about the data file or analysis method selected in the navigation pane above, and the text search engine.

D — the viewparts area, providing a number of options under the different tabs in a context-dependent manner.

E — the general control panel, the topmost bar showing a context-dependent set of icons for the available operations.

F — the repository pane toolbar containing a set of icons for the available operations depending on the item selected in the tree structure of the navigation pane.
