Select one or more Datasources whose attributes need to be viewed in Workspace Manager, and select Attributes in the pop-up Context Menu. The Attributes panel will pop up on the right side of the interface to display the Attributes of the currently selected Datasource.
Caution: The Properties panel is a floating panel that can be used to display not only Datasource Attributes, but also Workspace and Dataset Attributes.
Datasource
Select the Datasource node in the directory tree on the upper side of the Attributes panel, and the Attributes of the Datasource will be displayed in the lower area of the panel.
- Name: Displays the location where the Datasource is stored. If the Datasource is File Database, the full path of the Datasource file is displayed; if the Datasource is database-type Datasource, the database Server Name where the Datasource is located is displayed.
- Engine Type: Displays the Spatial Database engine type of the Datasource. See the Data source overview for the engine type for Datasource.
- Alias: The name of the Datasource displayed in Workspace. The default is the name of the Datasource saved in the Local File folder.
- Open As: Displays the open method used when the Datasource was opened: read-only or exclusive.
- Change Password..: Password management is performed for Datasource. You need to enter the original password, the new password, and confirm the new password when modifying.
Caution: - Modify Alias Modify only the Show Name of Datasource in Current Workspace.
- Other Modify Alias methods include: Workspace Manager-& gt Datasource Node Context Menu-& gt Modify Alias; Workspace Manager-& gt Datasource-& gt Shortcut F2.
- When modifying Alias, if there is an open Map, the program will pop up a prompt box to prompt Rename Datasource needs to close the map of the Dataset referencing it, continue? , Renames cannot be performed until the operation is completed, otherwise Renames..
- Rename Datasource will automatically modify the Layer Caption of Relation in the map to reduce the workload of manually modifying the Layer Caption.
Statistics
The Statistic area displays the Statistic Infomation of the Dataset contained by this Datasource.
- Dataset Type: The table lists the types of All Data sets supported by Application.
- Statistics Result: Displays the number of various types of Datasets contained in the corresponding Datasource.
Hint: Dataset Type column is the total number of Datasource Containing data sets.
Coordinate system
Displays the Coordinate System for the Datasource, the geographic units, and the Details for the Data Source Coordinate System. Reset the coordinate system, select coordinate system information from other data, export, import, and perform Projection Transformation here.
- Reset coordinate system: Click this button to bring up the Coordinate System Settings dialog. See Projection Settings for specific setting methods.
- From Other Data: Click this button to pop up the Set Coordinate System dialog, where you can select to copy the coordinate system information of other data as the Projection of the Current Data source. The system provides From Datasource and From Dataset and supports seven Projection Info File: TIFF File (*.TIF), SIT (*.SIT), Erdas Image File (*.IMG), ArcGIS Shapefile files (*.SHP), MapInfo Exchange Format (*.MIF), MapInfo TAB files (*.TAB), projection files (*.prj), and Projection Info File (*.XML).
- Export Coordinate System: Current Data source projection can be exported as Projection Info File (*.xml).
- Import Coordinate System: You can import a customized Projection Info File (.xml) to set the coordinate system of the Current Data source. A dialog box prompts Do you want to apply Datasource projection to the All Data set? Helps you bulk modify the Dataset's coordinate system.
- Projection Transformation: Click this button to bring up the Batch Projection Transformation dialog. Refer to the Convert Projected Coordinate System. for the specific setting method.
