While the general use of EFDC_Explorer is fairly standard with respect to a user interface for the Windows® operating system, some basic conventions will be explained here that should help the user.
Table 2 EFDC_Explorer user interface conventions.
| A black box with green text provide information only, it cannot be edited from that location. The information/data may be modified elsewhere. |
| A while box with black text is the primary data/text input interface. |
| A radial button indicates a range of options. Only one can be selected for each operation requested. |
| The "Browse" button is used extensively in the program to allow the user the ability to navigate to the requested/desired file(s) rather than typing in the adjacent text box. |
The user will notice several "grayed out" or disabled features in EFDC_Explorer. This indicates that a particular feature is not available for the currently applied version of EFDC or unavailable based on the user selected options. The "grayed out" options are not available to the user.
