Generating a Collection

Once the spatial or by attributes query was performed over an objects map, the attributes table presents only the objects that satisfy this query. These objects can now be part of a new collection to be used later in other queries.

Creating a collection from the table:

  • select the objects using the windows "Attributes Query " and/or "Spatial Query";
  • at the Table, click on button Collection Generation and select among the options: All Table..., Marks..., or Current Color...;
  • the interface  "Collection Generation" is presented;
  • type in a name for your collection at the field Name: ;
  • click on Apply.

NOTE: Only the collection created from the Table module are presented on the "Collection Generation" window and a collection can only be deleted if it is not being used.

Notice that, from now on, the new collection will be available at the "Generating and Selecting Collections" window, and the field Logical Expression will present the message "CREATED FROM TABLE".

NOTE: Do not provide names with spaces.
