The Operator module is started by selecting Operator > Show/Hide Operator, or by using the short key Ctrl+T.

 

Operator interface

Operator consists of a south panel and an east panel. When you start Operator, the south panel opens.

In most of the tabs in the south panel you can:

•Select which columns to display via the icon  on the far right of the header row. If you want to show more columns than can fit on the screen, you can check Horizontal scroll.

•Select a row in the list to view more information in the east panel. If you double-click a row in the search result, the east panel opens to the right while the map zooms in on the current object. If the object is not in active view, the views in which the object is displayed are listed.

•Search using a variety of filters.

•Press Select search criteria to choose which filters are visible.

•Each column has a built-in filter function. Right-click on the column header and select the values you want to filter on. You can filter on several columns at once. Note that set filtering disappears when you press the Search button.
