Chapter 2. Menu

All functionalities of the IMDI web browser are selected from right click menus[1]. The menu under the right mouse click is context dependent, meaning that you will get a different menu under a corpus node, a session node or a resource node. Figure 2.1 gives a view of the right click menu under a session node. In the view, the option view node is selected. This gives a full view of the content of the IMDI metadata file in the Content Panel.

The menu options are:

2.1. Annotation Content Search

With Annotation Content Search, you may search in the content of the written resource files. Remember that resource files are generally not open for anonymous users. You may only search those files for which you have access rights. Your right of access is indicated by the coloured access indicators. When you choose this option from the menu the content search engine (TROVA) will display the number of resources that will be searched (Figure 2.2). You need to log in to search through all files available to you.

A manual and help page for TROVA already exists. Select the online help option (A) to open the manual.
