Groups of structural properties and supporting information are saved in database files and restored as needed.
Any type of results can be displayed simultaneously on any number of independent windows.
The desktop layout of the various working windows can be saved for easy return to a particular problem, even when working with computer screens set at different resolutions!
The user interface includes dockable toolbars, flying tooltips and context (floating) menus.
Drag-and-drop copy operations between CoDA files can be used for any database object.
