Database tab

The database tag of the nordicICE database dialog displays lists of  patients, studies, series or images that are stored in the nordicICE database.
To display or hide a level just click the bar with the level name. When a patient or study is selected, the next level is displayed by default.
The buttons on each level can be used to navigate the level, and also refresh or delete single entries for that level. Any level can be sorted by any column by simply clicking the column. By clicking the same column header twice, the order is reversed.

The basic functionalities of the buttons in the database are:

Refresh

Pop-up menu

Right click on any level in the database to activate this pop-up menu. The options are the same as earlier described for the toolbar buttons. When you right click in series-level you will also get the option to "Edit description". By selecting this you can edit the series description for the selected series. The series description will be modified in both the database and the header of all the images in the selected series. Selecting "Delete" will remove the item that was right-clicked, a patient, a study or a series. "Delete many..." only appears in the menu if right-clicking in the patient level. This selection will show a screen where multiple patients can be selected for deletion.

• Hold down ctrl button to enable multi select on series or image level.
• Double click studies/series to load them into nordicICE workspace.
• Use the Delete button on your keyboard to delete items.
