Case Management

Backup case

It is possible to save a case without executing it in order to keep intermediate versions of the case and to be able to resume them later.

This can be done, either in the History View or the Case View, by selecting Operation > Back Up menu or the Back Up entry in the context menu of a case.

Backup case

Saved cases are shown in a separate subfolder in the History View.

Cases tree in History View

Remove execution

It is possible to delete the results of an execution (provided that its results are not used by other executions).

To do this, select the run case to delete, then the Delete button on the toolbar, the Edit > Delete menu, or the Delete entry in the context menu.

Examine calculation

The user can see the contents of an executed case. To do this, select the case in the History View, then the View Case entry of the context menu. The case details can then be viewed in read-only mode in the Case View.

Read-only view

This feature is useful because it allows viewing the details of the commands that make up the stages of given run case. Indeed, between two calculations the user has the possibility to modify the parameters of the commands, to add or to delete commands on the stages. The commands executed during an calculation can thus be different from those of the current case.

Add description

The user is able to add a description to each Run case or Backup case. This can be done with the Edit Description item in the Operations main menu or context menu.

Create case

The initial empty case is automatically added to a study when it is created. However, it is possible to remove all contents of the Current Case and create new empty case. This can be done with New Case operation.

Export case

The content of the study case can be exported to the files with the Export Case operation which is available in Operations main menu and in context menu. This operation creates an .export file and puts stages as properly named .com? files near it. Input data files are put near the .export file.

Import case

The content of the study can be imported from the .export file. Use Import Case item in Operations main menu to do this.
