−	There are many different ways to find information in the Canonbase. The structure is build so that everything is connected to everything. But there are different entries that help finding what you are looking for.

−	~~==Using the main structure==~~
−
−	~~All the items are structured in a matrix of Fields and types of information. An overview of these can be accessed from the main/home page.~~
−
−	The '''fields''' are reflecting the structure of the theatre work, but include also more general historic and technical fields. If you are looking for information on a specific field, this is a good start. The main page will show you overviews of what is available in this field.
−
−	The '''type of information''' reflect de various nature of the different concepts/items that are collected in the Canonbase. If you are looking for a specific type, this is a good start. The main page of each type will show you different overviews of the information available.
−
−	~~If you are looking for information about a specific '''geographic area''', just type the name of the continent, country, region, province or city in the search bar.~~
−
−	~~Once you have found your scope, you can continue clicking on items in the properties, the tree structures, the time lines or the maps.~~
−
−	~~==Using the search bar==~~
−
−	The search bar will search for any label, independent of the language, that matches your search. Important to know is that the search only looks from the start of the label. If you don’t find what you are looking for, because the word you are looking for is not at the start of the label, click “containing” at the end of the list.

−
−	This will give you also results where the word you are looking for is somewhere in the label or in the description. The advanced link in the search menu allows you to search for specific types of content.
−
−	~~== Using trees ==~~
−	In different places in the items, you will find trees that structure the information in different ways. To open one of the items, you need to right-click on the item. If you like to see a bigger version of the tree, click on the “full screen” button

−
−	~~== Using maps ==~~
−	The maps refer to the geographic positions for as far as they are available. You can zoom in or out by scrolling on the map or using the + and - buttons. You can move the map by left-clicking and dragging. If you click on a dot, you will see the name, city and country of the venue, a simple click will bring you to the information.
−	~~Some maps offer the possibility to filter on opening dates of the theatres.~~

−
−	~~== Using the timelines ==~~
−	Items that contain more than one date property, or have underlaying items that contain dates, will show a timeline with these dates. This timeline helps to get a historic overview, but can also be used to surf to other items. The timeline you see in a page is the embedded mode, but by clicking on the full screen button, you get a full screen timeline.
