The solutions and data sets associated with a particular object (grid, mesh, scatter point set, etc.) are managed using the Project Explorer.
3 different types of data sets are shown in the Data Tree: scalar, vector, and cff. The icons used to identify the data sets are shown below.

If the active data set is transient then the time steps are displayed in the Time Step Window.
Solutions are output from a numerical
model
that GMS supports. Solutions are shown in the Project Explorer as a folder
with an lock on it 
. If a solution is transient then the
time steps are displayed in the Times
Step Window.
Data sets can not be moved into or out of a solution folder. Also, the
solution may contain text files such as the *.out and *.glo files produced
by MODFLOW. These
files can viewed by right clicking on the item and selecting View
File from the pop up menu, or you can double click on the item.
Clicking on a solution or data set makes that item "active" and the display is automatically updated in the GMS window.
The data sets and solutions are organized by folders. The user can create new folders and move data sets, solutions, and folders to other folders anywhere on the Project Explorer. Folders can be created by right clicking on the certain items in the Project Explorer and selecting New Folder in the menu. A data set or folder can be deleted simply by selecting the folder and selecting the Delete key or by right-clicking on the item and selecting the Delete option in the corresponding pop-up menu. Statistics about a data set can be viewed by right-clicking on a data set and selecting the Properties option from the pop-up menu.
