GloED Menu Choices
Click here to view a graphic illustrating the menu choices available in GloED.
Each level of the program has a menu that allows the user to select the operations that the program will perform at that level. The user can select the actions in the menu by clicking a mouse cursor on the desired menu selection, by navigating the menu with the arrow and tab keys of the computer keyboard, or by typing the first letter of the selection. The GloED main menu always appears along the top of the screen and is a set of pull-down menus, which means that the user can "pull down" further options by selecting a menu item. When the user selects a menu option--either with a mouse or with the cursor keys--GloED will lead the user to the screens that apply to that menu option. The above figure shows some of the primary menu options and the secondary pull-down menus. It is actually a combination of five separate screens which GloED generates in response to the primary menu choices of Scenario, Database, Mapping, Reports, Exports, and Tools. The seven primary menu choices and their general functions are:
- Scenario — This menu allows the user to Load a previously created scenario, Generate a new scenario, Combine elements of two or more scenarios, Edit an existing scenario, or Delete a previously created scenario.
- Database — This menu allows the user to call up the database Editor to add or modify data, or to Rebuild the database.
- Mapping — Allows the user to display the emissions inventory in the form of a thematic map.
- Reports — Allows the user to generate reports of the results of the inventory calculation in Text form (as tables) or as graphics (pie or bar charts).
- Exports — Allows the user to use GloED to automatically generate a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet or a dBase file, or to export the data as an ASCII file.
- Tools — This option allows the user to use the Units Converter of GloED as a stand-alone tool, or to access the Lotus Importer.
- Exit — Allows the user to leave the program.
