Though no previous knowledge of Microsoft Windows is required to operate LCCS, there are some Selection Techniques and Screen Objects the user should become familiar with in order to be able to use the LCCS Actions Panel without problems.

The buttons of the Actions Panel trigger the following events:

The buttons are in the enabled position when the action they trigger is valid. The Show Class button in the enabled position indicates that a land cover class has been formed, that is the minimum set of classifiers to define a land cover class has been determined.

In the Legend Module the screen objects consist of buttons that may or may not be followed by a combo box or sub-menu with several options, as described earlier.

For the main Legend menu options Display, Standard Description and Classifiers Used, a report will be shown which can be printed. The same applies for Similarity Assessment in the Translator Module.

In the Translator Module the selection technique consists of clicking on button objects or highlighting a selected item by clicking once on it (especially in list boxes).
