Main window serves for data presentation in a tabular kind and looks similarly to a spreadsheet.

Main menu, Access panel (it is under the main menu), Link panel (it is in the left part of the main window) contain a set of commands and buttons which allow to look through and to edit data, and also to adjust view of the shown data.

The panel of link of a map and the table of data contains the following command buttons:

- link current record with the chosen map object;

- find the map object, linked with the current record in a database;

- find record in a database, linked with current map object;

- mark all the objects connected with accessible records;

- show records for the marked objects (type of link is internal one, or by semantics);

- reset of the marked objects.

In the right part of Access panel there is a window which contains the list of indexes. The current index is selected of the indexes list which have been set at creation of the table. More often indexes are defined at creation of the table and during work with the table do not change. However the user has an opportunity to change indexes, defined for the table, with help of Structure command button in the Table bookmark of Base Administrator.
