22. The user interface opens by default with a Table view (Table tab active).
The permanent elements of the window are from top to bottom and left to right:
Tabs for major access operations in order to access the predefined data set. Although displayed, the tab “Related Links” should be left out. These tabs provide the main controls for viewing a the predefined data set chosen, namely as a Table, as a Graph or as a Map.
Clicking on the Eurostat logo opens up the Home page
On the separation line to the dynamic data the following elements are located:
Copyright Notice
Counter for selected cells of the table in process (NOT to be implemented in this stage, so can be left out)
Icons (note: If views from certain data sets are not available, the buttons are grayed out. In general the set of icons can differ depending on which Tab is activated. Each icon should have a tool-tip when the cursor passes the icon. For the Table Tab there are the following icons:
Table view (default)
Chart view (LEAVE OUT)
Map view (LEAVE OUT)
Meta data view (methodological info)  where to retrieve this info?
Table Information view (Update information)  where to retrieve this info?
Download options (for instance to Excel)  which other formats than Excel?
Print (including preview)
Bookmark/Save URL (for instance under Favorites)
Personalization (LEAVE OUT)
The title of the table can be found in the XML file. The explanation under the table name, however, has to be retrieved from the TMT.  Perhaps to place the explanation under a link from the table name (in that case it is also applicable for the graph and maps)?
Contrary to what is shown in the slide, the table should also include the labels (and if too long the code) of the dimensions (e.g. Geo or Time). The headers of the table (e.g. 2004m10 or Euro-zone) should show only labels (no codes).
In case the table exceeds the page view, a scroll bar should appear such that the upper part of the page and table header remain stable.
At the bottom of the table the footnotes/flags should appear as is already currently the case on the website. For the Graph and Maps the footnotes do not apply  or do they?
The tabs will change in color when activated/selected
The color setting should be in line with the website.
Should it include a horizontal colored ruler and if so should it start as a default on the row of the MS related to the user’s origin?
This screen appears when you activate the node of the Theme tree for predefined data sets. The table resembles the existing one, however, without its current icons contained within the table. Besides the Table tab (active as default) there is a tab for Graphs and MAPS. Basic functions (print, download, methodology, update info, bookmark) are placed under the icons. Non-applicable icons are to be removed. Table includes a scroll bar for not loosing sight of table headings, tabs and icons (i.e. navigation tools).

23. Maps on Eurostat website
When a users clicks on the tool box the following page appears, i.e. the right side of the screen changes into a box with Tabs. The look and feel of these tabs should of course be in line with the general use of Tabs.
The default opening of the toolbox is that of (re-)selecting one or more time-series and choosing the type of Map.
Clicking on Re-fresh Map updates the Map according to the user selection. At the same time the Legend tab should be updated (in the background).
More detailed information on the Specs are described in the Word document “MAPSpec”.

24. Maps on Eurostat website
This page appears when clicking on the Compare Tab.
More detailed information on the Specs are described in the Word document “MAPSpec”.

25. Maps on Eurostat website
This page appears when clicking on the Classes tab.
Here users can define their desired number of classes. Please note that changing the number also changes the number of manual settings below.
User can also change colours of the MAP.
An users can define on what criteria (e.g. Quantiles or Equal class interval, user’s own definition) the classes should be drawn.
More detailed information on the Specs are described in the Word document “MAPSpec”.

26. Maps on Eurostat website
This page appears when clicking on Layers.
More detailed information on the Specs are described in the Word document “MAPSpec”.

27. Maps on Eurostat website

More detailed information on the Specs are described in the Word document “MAPSpec”.
The toolbox will be closed via the Close customization toolbox.
