Understanding your toolbars

BOOM!'s Data Studio includes significant amounts of data and associated functionality so it is important to understand how to best harness the toolbars to maximise your efficiency. Here at BOOM! we also recommend that you set your screen to zoom 80% (CTRL + minus key) to improve map real estate; we also recommend the use of mouse and not a track pad as a trackwheel and left- and right-click functionality are heavily used.
