Right-click a dataset in the dataset list to select and open the dataset context menu.

Function	Description
Dataset Properties	Opens the Dataset Properties Window of the selected dataset. There is access to various items through the tabs. Default the tab “General” is opened, where it is possible to view and/or edit general information from the dataset: user and unique name, format (.ovf, .omi, *.shp, …) and type (points, lines, areas, image or mixed) and scale range limits.
Attribute Table	Opens the Attribute Table View of the selected dataset.
Join Tables	Opens Join Tables Window to join external data with the selected dataset.
Labels	Opens the Labeling Editor to edit the labels of the selected dataset that represent attribute values.
Legend Editor	Opens the Legend Editor to edit the appearance of the selected dataset.
Charts Editor	Opens the Charts Editor to edit the pie charts of the selected dataset.
View Metadata	View the Metadata of the selected dataset.

Show Legend Display	Display the legend of the selected dataset in the Dataset List.
SoloView	Only view the selected dataset, temporary hide all other datasets.
SoloSafe	This dataset will always be visible, although another dataset can be set to Soloview

Zoom To Dataset Extent	Zoom to overview all objects of the selected dataset. It is interesting to use the Dataset Extent Function when the location of the dataset-objects is unknown.
Arrange	Change the sequence of drawing datasets:
	Bring to Front	Bring the selected dataset to the top of the dataset list.
	Bring Forward	Bring the selected dataset one place up in the dataset list.
	Send Backward	Send the selected dataset one place down in the dataset list.
	Send to Back	Send the selected dataset to the bottom of the dataset list.
Set Scale Limits	Set Dataset Scale limits to display the dataset.
Coordinate Reference System	Set or modify the dataset CRS.

Save Dataset As	Save the dataset as a new file.
Export Dataset to	Export the dataset as another file type (f.ex .shp, .odb, *.dxf).

Dataset Scale Limits

Scale Limits can be imposed on a Dataset to restrict viewing of the data within a scale range. Zooming outside the scale range will render the Dataset invisible, regardless its visibility setting. Its name will appear italic in the Dataset List.

Set current as Largest Scale: Defines the most detailed view limit of the scale range. Zoom In is limited to this scale. The Dataset Properties are automatically adjusted.
Set current as Smallest Scale: Defines the overview limit of the scale range. Zoom out is limited to this scale. The Dataset Properties are automatically adjusted.
Remove Scale limits: The scale range is cleared and scale limits are no longer imposed. The dataset will be drawn at all scales.
