General

Project Browser is the main widget for managing projects and general information.

The elements are displayed hierarchically. You can collapse and expand all the tree elements by clicking the buttons on the viewer toolbar. You can also collapse and expand any individual element by clicking that element.

In this viewer you can invoke modify and delete projects, applicants, references and priority claims. Additionally, you can export projects.

List elements

There are four types of lists of elements:
  1. applicant list, called Applicants
  2. current application data list, called References
  3. earlier application(s) data list, called Priority Claims. It has four sub-lists:
    1. national priority claims
    2. regional priority claims
    3. international priority claims
    4. unknown priority claims
  4. sequences list, called Sequences

Each list displays the number of elements it contains. The list elements are visible in the tree, except for the sequences. These are visible in the Sequence Browser.
