Toolbar

The Data Project Designer toolbar exposes the following options:

•      Create new Data Project: clicking this button displays the Data Project Designer Start Page.  A close button is shown to its top right; clicking it removes the overlay from display.  If a Data Project containing unsaved changes is displayed at invocation of Create New, an 'Are You Sure?' dialog is shown, from which you can:

o  Save the changes

o  Abandon the changes

o  Abandon creation of the new Data Project

•      Open existing Data project: upon invoking this option, if any outstanding changes exist within the currently-displayed data project, an ‘Are you sure?’ dialog is displayed.  You can:

o  Save the changes to the existing and proceed with opening the selected data project.

o  Abandon the changes you made to the existing and proceed with opening the selected data project.

o  Cancel opening the data project.

The RPI File System Dialog is displayed immediately allowing you to navigate those folders within the RPI file system to which you have access in order to locate a data project to open.  Only data project files are displayed in the File System Dialog.  Having selected a data project and invoked OK, it is displayed within the Data Project Designer.

If the data project has yet to be established (i.e. is still being defined), the Definition tab’s Acquisition panel is displayed.  If the data project is established (i.e. at least one file has been processed), the Execution tab’s Acquisition panel is shown instead.

•      Save Data Project: this option saves the current data project to an existing filename; if the data project is yet to be saved, Save behaves like Save as….  Save is only enabled when outstanding changes exist within the data project.

If the data project’s name has been updated, it is saved to same file, and the filename updated accordingly.  When you save a data project its version number is incremented.  Validation of the data project’s name and description length is performed at Save.  When a data project is persisted within the RPI file system, its file type is Data Project.

•      Version number: a read-only representation of the data project’s version is displayed towards the right of the toolbar.
