This chapter explains how you can make use of the User Set workspace to keep references of products you have found in various catalogue searches
The User Set workspace ( Figure 9.1, “The User Set workspace” ) is where data products are stored for future use. You can store up to a maximum number of 100 items.
Data products in the User Set workspace can either be removed or stored and subsequently moved in the Shop Cart workspace to be ordered.
The content of the User Set workspace is automatically stored as a file on your local disk (file userset.txt).
Whenever the User Set content is modified, the user set file is updated. The User Set file is updated when:
-
One or several items are added to the User Set workspace from another workspace;
-
One or several items are deleted from the User Set workspace;
-
The User Set is loaded from a file.
From the Catalogue or Downloads workspace, you can add selected data products to
your private User Set workspace via the Add to your User Set 
button of the Tools bar. Alternately, select Result Set
>> Add to UserSet from the Menu Bar ( Figure 9.2, “The Add to UserSet menu” ).
New items are always added at the end of the current User Set items (they appear at the bottom of the table if the items are sorted by their Id number (default sorting)
To remove items from the User Set workspace, select them and click on the Bin 
button of the Toolbar.
You can use several User Sets and swap from one to the other using the Save/Load UserSet function from the menu File ( Figure 9.3, “The Load/Save UserSet menu” ).
When you load a UserSet from a file, the current one is lost (you might want to save it first). UserSet files are saved with a .usr extension.
For example, assume you work on two projects and you would like to maintain two distinct User Sets, one for each project. When working on project 1, you would load the UserSet from a file named myproject1.usr. You may now want to add and/or remove some items. When done, save the User Set back to file myproject1.usr. Then, you can carry on working on your second project by loading the UserSet file myproject2.usr.

UserSet files may be saved using one EOLI-SA client and loaded on another one. The Save/Load feature may be used to exchange data products references among your colleagues. Simply save the UserSet as a file and send it to other users. |
