My Data

The My Data window is used to group data into collections. You can then carry out operations on all the items in a collection in one action. The My Data window is accessed by selecting My Data from the Display menu.

Using the window, you can generate collections of database elements that you may need to work on. Each time you access the My Data window in any of the modules that use it (Draft, Design, SPOOLER, etc), the data collections generated will be displayed, which enables elements to be easily transferred between these modules.

The contents of My Data persists between applications and module switching, as well as between design sessions. The data stored is per user, per project in your application which means that, for example, in Design you could add elements to My Data and then switch to Draft to use the same data.

Note: The PDMSUSER directory is shared between users, those users will see the same data.
