Diversity Collection

Tutorial

First steps

This tutorial will guide you through the first basic steps to enter a single data set in DiversityCollection.

Before you start, you must have the client DiversityCollection installed and have access to a database. For more information, see the chapter Installation and Access to the database.

To start the program either select the application from the start menu or double click on the DiversityCollection.exe in the directory in which you have copied the files of DiversityCollection.

The main window will open.

 

Connect to server and database

The first time you open this window, you’ll need to connect to the server and a database.

You can also watch a short German video showing the login process: Video starten.

  1. Click the button or select Connection → Database… from the menu.
  2. A window will open where you can enter your account information and select the database you want to work with (see the screenshots below).

   

  1. After connecting to the server and choosing a database click on the OK button to connect to the database and return to the main window.
  2. The icon in the top right corner of the main window indicates that you are now connected to the database. The tooltip of this button shows your current login information (see below).
