Data Manager dialog box

Use the Data Manager dialog box to save model runs for use later on, and to load saved runs. When you load a saved run, you can choose to load just the generated data for the run, or both the generated data and the parameters (the initial constant values) for the model's entities. For more information, see Managing model runs.

[]

To open this dialog box, choose Data Manager from the Run menu.

Note: The Data Manager command is not available until the model has been run at least once.

Current run data

Displays the name of the run whose data is currently displayed in the model. This may either be the most recent run for the model, or a previous run that you have chosen to load as current. You can save the current run to be loaded at a later time. You can also give the current run a new name for easier identification.

• Name – The name of the current run (or the currently loaded run). You can change the name by clicking the name and making edits.
• Last modified – Indicates how long ago the current run was last modified.
• – Click this button to save the current run so that you can load it later. When you click this button, the run's name appears in the "Saved run data" list.

Recent run data

Displays the names of all recently generated runs, up to the number of runs you specified in the "Remember data from the last ___ runs" box, minus one (the one displayed in the "Current run data" list).

• – Click the button to load the data for the corresponding run.
• – Click the button to load the data and parameters for the corresponding run.
• Name – The name of the run. You can change the name by clicking the name and making edits.

• – Click this button to save the run so that you can load it later. When you click this button, the run's name appears in the "Saved run data" list
• Remember data from the last ___ runs – Select how many total runs you want the software to automatically save. All but the current run will be listed in the "Recent run data" list, with the current run in the "Current run data" list. For example, if you select 4 here, the current run will appear in the "Current run data" list, and the previous three runs will appear in the "Recent run data" list.
