The Entity Selector panel provides a view that shows all of the current entities and allows the user to select the active entity. It support supports grouping of the entities and tools to clear the selection for the entity and zoom to the selection.
This view can be referenced using the id 'com.cohga.html.client.main.entitySelectorView', for historical reasons, or 'weave.entitySelectorView'.
A usable implementation of this view was only made available at Weave 2.4.11.

| Note |

Both forms of entity lists are supported, that is <entity> tags directly listed or embedded within an <entities> tag, this allows for the group of entities to be referenced as a whole using a snippet and included using <entities id="entitylist"/>.
Additionally both entity formats are supported, that is <entity>id</entity> and <entity attribute="value"/>, the first format is the equivalent of <entity id="id"/>, but the second format allows you to specify additional attributes. |
