How can I load a data table from a spatial database or data store into a Map in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
To access spatial databases or data stores you need to have defined a User Data Source (UDS) (to learn more about UDSs, see: "Data sources"You can load a data table from a spatial file using the right-click menu over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS that refers the file, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map. You can also double-click over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS that refers the file, in the "Data sources" panel, to load its content into a new or existing Map (this behaviour may be configured in the application settings)
