The Choose Resource Types dialog

Dialog Components

All Resource Types Option

This option is selected by default. Thus in the default View or Advanced Search you will see all resources available in Omea which also can contain HTML files, Text files, PDF files, Word files. When you select any specific option in the area under this option or in the Resources Containing Files area, this option becomes deselected.

Area under “All Resource Types” Option

Represents a list of resources available for usage in Omea.

“Resource Containing Files” Area

Represents a list of resource types which depend on the resource types you can work with using Omea.

“Matching File Types” Area

Represents a list of files which are available for manipulating from the Resource Containing Files area; when some option(s) in the Resource Containing Files area is selected, options in this area can be accessed and managed.

Examples of Setting the Dialog Options

The main thing you need to understand about this dialog is that you can work with the list in the area under All Resource Types and the Resource Containing Files area independently. The following scenarios are possible:

• You can select some option(s) in the area under All Resource Types option and not to specify any options in Resource Containing Files area; in this case the options in the Matching File Types area are already checked and can not be accessed, and despite these options are selected, it does not result in narrowing the Advanced Search or Views.
• Or you may not specify any option(s) in the area under All Resource Types option and set options only in the Resource Containing Files area; in this case you will be able to access and select/deselect options for the Matching File Types area if you want or leave these options unchanged.
• Or you can select/deselect some option(s) in the area under the All Resource Types option, set some options in the Resource Containing Files area and the Matching File Types area.

You may also leave the All Resource Types option checked, and in this case your new View or Advanced Search will not be narrowed.
