Manage Configurations Dialog

Purpose

The dialog contains functions for managing impact analysis configurations for content and/or displaying analysis graphs in the impact analysis diagram.

• Create user-specific configuration with current settings

• Rename selected configuration

• Delete selected configuration

• Copy selected configuration

• Create model-wide configuration from a selected, user-specific configuration

Prerequisites

• You require the Edit Model-Wide Configurations privilege when renaming, deleting and preparing model-wide configuration.

• You require saved changes to rename, copy and prepare model-wide configuration

Call

The Manage Content Configurations dialog appears with the Impact Analysis>Configuration>Manage command in the sub group for content configuration.

The Manage Display Configurations dialog appears with the Impact Analysis>Configuration>Managecommand in the sub group for display configuration.

The functions and prerequisites are the same for both content and display configurations.

Structure

The dialog consists of the list of configurations with the filter field in the list header, the toolbar of commands and the standard button Close.

• List of Configurations

  You can enter a name pattern in the <Filter> field above the structure content to restrict the entries displayed there.

  Icons split configurations into two groups:

  • Model-wide configuration
  • User-defined configuration

  A tool tip appears for each entry when you hover over it with the mouse; it shows information, e.g. for creating model-wide configurations.

  An underlined model-wide configuration is currently stored in the model as default.

• Command Toolbar

  The following commands can be used to manage the configurations.

  •  New

    Creates a new user specific configuration. It will be saved with the current settings, and it will be loaded then.

  •  Rename

    Rename the selected configuration. Renaming a configuration which has pending changes is not possible. Renaming a model-wide configuration requires the privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations'.

  •  Delete

    Delete the selected configuration. Deleting a model-wide configuration requires the privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations'.

  •  Copy

    Create a user specific copy of the selected configuration. The copy is loaded. Copying is not possible when the loaded configuration has no pending changes.

  •  Deploy

    Create a model-wide application configuration from the selected user-specific configuration. After deployment as a model-wide configuration, the user-specific configuration is deleted. The selected configuration must not have pending changes. The privilege 'Edit Model-Wide Configurations' is required.

  •  View Content

    Opens a dialog which allows viewing the configuration as text. Changes are not possible.

  •  Edit Content (replaces View Content for defective configurations)

    Opens a dialog which allows editing the configuration as text. In this way can a configuration be repaired that cannot be loaded anymore.

    Proceed carefully as invalid structure changes may make the configuration unusable.
