Component Data Loading

Access to component data in the database is only available, if the database configuration has been set to Use Database for Component data, or the Components DB button on the PMOD ToolBox has been enabled before calling the load operation.

The dialog shown is somewhat different to the dialog when loading images. The example below shows the dialog which appears after loading images of a patient PKIN1 into the PVIEW tool and activating the Load button on the VOI tab.

Component DB Loading

First, the database containing the data, here Pmod, must be selected. In the filter section similar options are available as described for image data loading. The Patient name and Patient ID fields are normally filled in by the information of the image data which has already been loaded. The component section lists all data of proper type and matching the selection criteria.

The example patient PKIN1 has three VOIs in the database. When a component in the list is selected, a row of action buttons below the list area become active.

Select all	Selects all components of the list (also `CTRL+A`).
Delete	Attention: Deletes the component data from the database and the disk!
Export	Exports the selected component data out of the database into a disk file. Multiple selections are supported. A dialog appears, and after the Save button has been activated the user is requested to specify the destination directory for the data export.
Rename	For changing the component name.
Retrieve	Starts loading the selected component.
Cancel	Closes dialog without loading.

The Load from File System button changes to file-based loading directly from the disk.
