In general, the associated data are located in the same area, but the information of the data is different, so that you can view multiple data for a region by once browsing operation.

You can associate a vector layer with its attribute table directly. In the layer manager, right-click on your layer and select Browse Associated Table.
You can zoom map in/out or other operations in one window and another window will accordingly change, and vice versa. When you do the operation to an attribute table, double click a record in the table, the corresponding object will be located in map window immediately.
When the new associated windows are created, the current associated relation is discharged automatically.

When the current workspace has opened two or more maps, scenes or attribute tables, a window can’t be associated.
Window modes Tab, Cascade and Extension all supports associated browsing.
Only a set of associated relationship can be saved in the current workspace.

When the attribute table window also involved in the association browsing, all the objects will not be highlighted in the map if you select whole column of the attribute table by default. If you want to highlight all objects, you can set the related parameters in the right-click menu of the attribute table.
