The Prospero Catalog View opens a selection window which allows you to select an existing Line, Column, or Report Definition(s). You can change the view by clicking on the Reports, Lines, or Columns radio button.
Within each Catalog View selection, you can search or sort
by entering a value for the item (letter, number, or keyword) in the field where
the magnifying glass 
appears in the
information columns. You can choose to open multiple items using the
Shift or Ctrl keys and mouse-click OR the Shift key and
down-arrow to select desired items. Each selected item will then open in the
workspace. To de-select any chosen items select the entire row, being certain
that all fields in the row are not selected.
