Map of the user interface. The icons at the four corners represent entry points allowing (clockwise from top left): the construction of new queries; search for/running of pre-made 'template' queries; uploading of lists of objects (which can be used in queries); or a quick search for objects based on their identifiers or synonyms. Running a query produces a results page, allowing browsing and paging through results and selection of items for inclusion in lists or export in a variety of formats. Lists can be saved between sessions, set operations can be carried out on multiple lists and the list details page summarizes list contents and provides other tools that operate on lists.
