The
Special functions menu can be called up from all points in the program
by pressing "Shift+F10". Move the cursor to the desired item with
"Arrow up/down" and select by pressing "Enter". The following menu
items are available:

The
program supports German, English, French, Italian and Spanish.
If all languages in a database are not activated, DYABOLA changes
to the database's standard language (e.g. English in the CENSUS).
Both the program controls and the headings (subjects) appear in
the selected language.
Important: As far as possible, the key-words are reproduced
in the antique or local spelling. If scientific terms or non-proper
names appear under key-words, these are in German in the case
of the DAI's Subject Catalogue or in English in the CENSUS, for
example, and are not reproduced in another language.
1. Select one of the languages offered from the menu with
"Arrow up/down" and press "Enter".
2. Continue from where you have stopped. From the next display
onwards, the new language will be used. |

Normally, the search result of a literature
database is shown in chronological order. However, if you would
like the result to be displayed or printed out sorted according
to authors' names, use this function. Important: This
option is only available if you have called up the Special functions
menu from the database selection. The database selection appears
when you start the program or when you select Quit in the Main
menu. .
1. As soon as you select this item, the sort order is changed.
Continue from where you have stopped. |

Certain terms can be found at several points
in the Headings tree. In the DAI's Subject Catalogue, we come
across the heading "Baths" under Topography: Countries : Italy
: Places : Rome, under Architecture : Monuments, but also under
Early Christian-Byzantine culture : Architecture. If you want
to search for all identical headings in one single step, you
must first activate the option "Polyhierarchic search".
Important: If you are working on a public terminal,
please turn off the Polyhierarchic search again when you have
finished, as subsequent users will otherwise obtain unexpected
results.
1. As soon as you select this item, the Polyhierarchic search will
be (de)activated. Continue from where you have stopped. |

This
function starts a search that includes all superior titles in
the database tree. This is useful, for instance in the Grave relief
database, if you are looking for a figure and want to immediately
see the title cards of the reliefs in order to find out the location.
1. As soon as you select this item, the search of all superior
entries of the hierarchy will be (de)activated. Continue from

title when a title card is displayed or a title is activated in
a list. You can exit this data sheet by pressing "Escape".

will (will not) be shown immediately. Continue from where you have stopped. |
