The Actions panel is shown to the right.
The panel contains the following buttons, which are always enabled.
•Preview: shown only for delimited files. Displays the Preview dialog to provide visibility of the raw or parsed contents of the file (dialog covered separately). A warning is displayed at invocation if the current data project is not valid or is running.
•Preview & Define: shown only for fixed-width files. Displays the Preview dialog to facilitate definition of the file’s field boundaries (dialog covered separately). A warning is displayed at invocation if the current data project is not valid or is running.
•Re-analyze: if a delimited file, re-analyzes the file’s schema and content, taking into account any changes made within the File Analysis panel. A warning is displayed at invocation if the current data project is not valid, contains unsaved changes, or is running.
If a fixed-width file, also takes into account any changes made to field boundaries in the Preview dialog, and displays all columns in the Field Analysis panel, as well as enabling Execution.Validation. This option is protected by an “Are you sure?” dialog.
•Validate and Load initiates the process of validating that the file is accordant with the data project’s definition, and, having done so, loads it. For a fixed-width file, it is disabled after subsequent field boundary changes, and enabled post-re-analysis. A warning is displayed at invocation if the current data project is not valid, contains unsaved changes, or is running.
