At the moment, three databases are set online:

  • Republic database, DevInfo Serbia29.10.2009
  • Settlements database
  • Women and Men in Serbia 2008

Selection of database

The database that is to be opened by default, if you click on (option 1, Fig. 1) is Republic database DevInfo Serbia29.10.2009.

To open and work with some other database, click on the list of the available databases (option 2 -Select database,on the previous figure) to get the list, as is illustrated in the next figure:

Fig. 2. The list of available databases in application DevInfo Serbia

Note: The active or default database is placed at the top of the list. To select some other database click on the database which name is located on the white background(option 1, 2or 3).The click on any name with grey background does not produce result, since they refer to the headers/sections.

So, to open and work with database Women and men in Serbia 2008 click on the ---Zene i muskarci – Women and Men item in the list.

Only one database could be opened and used at time. If you have some database opened and work with, but want to switch to some other database, then use the option (click on) Select database (see Fig. 3).

Warning: If indicators are to be selected by the sector, it is then important to click on some specific sector in order to get the related indicators for that sector.The label Sector that is located at the top of the hierarchy of the available sectors should not be clicked, since that causes the blocking of the present software version (web version problem only – to be corrected in the next software release).
