Scenarios toolbar

This toolbar groups together commands that are used primarily when working with scenarios. Scenarios are networks derived from a base network specified by the user, on which "what-if" scenarios can be investigated.

Command Icon Description

Create scenario

Select scenario

Indicate which scenario is current. Select the current scenario by choosing from the list. "Base" signifies that the current scenario is the base network, from which scenarios derive.

Delete scenario

This button is disabled if the base network is the current scenario.

Rename scenario

This button is disabled if the base network is the current scenario.

Manage scenarios

Manage the scenarios for the currently open network or control. Clicking this button displays the Manage Scenarios dialog. A variety of tasks can be performed on scenarios from this dialog (creating a new scenario, deleting the selected scenario, merging scenarios, making a scenario the base network).

Note: If both network and control are open when you click this button, a dialog will appear that will allow you to select whether you want to manage the network or control scenario.

Excluded objects grid

Applies to the current scenario.

Display a grid of excluded objects. Excluded objects are objects that are present in the base network but not in the current scenario. These objects are shown with high transparency in the GeoPlan view of the scenario and their properties can be seen in this grid. The grid is organised in tabs to accommodate each object type.

Restore excluded objects

Restore excluded objects. Clicking this button restores ALL the excluded objects in the current scenario. The user is prompted to confirm the restore action.

This button is disabled if the base network is the current scenario.
