The Cumulus Desktop Client main window, your workspace, is the Collection window. It provides two main panes, the Category pane and the Record pane. Additional panes, e.g. the Info pane, can be activated.
1 Main Toolbar – provides icons for some of the most popular functions and for modifying the workspace. For details refer to the tool tips that appear when hovering with the mouse over an icon.
2 Category Pane – displays categories. Each Cumulus catalog provides three master categories by default (Categories, Keywords and Sources), each of which builds its own category tree. A drop-down list (A) allows to switch between the display of all categories or any of the master category trees. Categories may be searched for via the category quicksearch field (B).
The top bar of the Category pane indicates the total number of categories in all open catalogs, the number of currently visible categories and the number of selected ones (if any). Additionally, the Category pane top bar contains three icons.
