Source Selector

Purpose

This screen is used to browse the entire Sources list and then select an entry to add a source reference to it to the current Project Hirtius fully-fledged object. It is always displayed as a pop-up dialogue (that is to say that it opens as a new window or tab).

Getting There...

Selectors are purpose-built screens that are not reachable through the general navigation of the application, but only by clicking on specific action links on certain screens. Here are the places and actions that will trigger the display of this selector, and the context of its use:

On the Object - Source Ref. Edition Page, clicking on the Add action links. Adds a source reference for the currently selected fully-fledged object.

Fields

source_id*

author

title

source date

[source type]

For the description, format and meaning of each field, please refer to the Sources Edition Page. A few words on those that are not defined there or need extra clarification:

source_id:: When followed by a star ('*'), a comment has been entered for that source. Hover your mouse over its ID to get it displayed as a tooltip. Comments that are longer than '$max_ttip_len' char. (see Global Definitions File) will be trucated and suffixed with '...' to denote the truncation.

Controls

Source actions

For each source listed on the screen, simply click on its ID (first column) to select it and create a new source reference to it from the currently selected fully-fledge object. When this selection has been performed (i.e. clicking on the ID), a new screen will be displayed for you to fill in the details of the reference (such as an internal location like a folio number and a further comment -- please see the Object - Source Ref. Edition Page for more details on these fields).
