Description

New filename

Clicking the ellipse button displays the Windows standard Open dialog to browse for the updated Infowater xinp file.

New name

A default name is suggested for the baseline to be imported and usually corresponds to the name of the source file. You can edit this if required.

Base model

Select one of these two following options. Only one may be selectable, depending on the status of the selected baseline.

Modify current baseline	Choose this option to update the base model but keep the current baseline and edit that baseline. This option is available to checked out baselines or checked in baselines that can be checked out (that is, unlocked baselines, disabled baselines, baselines without any existing IWLive Pro runs).
Create new baseline	choose this option to generate a brand new base model with a new baseline. This option is available for baselines that are locked, enabled or that have existing IWLive Pro runs.

OK (button)

Click OK to proceed with the update. The outcome is different depending on the option that has been selected in the Base model section of the dialog:

Modify current baseline - Only part of a brand new base model has been generated. The network and controls associated with the baseline being modified are imported. You may have to open the Explorer window to see the new objects that can be found inside a model group named after the baseline. A base run or simulation is automatically created and can be found inside a run group. The modified existing baseline is checked out by default (icon with red outline), ready to be edited.

Create new baseline - A brand new base model has been generated. The baseline and associated network and controls are imported. You may have to open the Explorer window to see the new objects that can be found inside a model group named after the baseline. A base run or simulation is automatically created and can be found inside a run group. The imported baseline is checked out by default (icon with red outline), ready to be edited.
