The landing page looks like this...
It has a few key areas of interest...
The 'create a new collection' area...
A simulation collection can consist of one or multiple simulations. Irrespective the quantity of simulations chosen, they are saved under a single collection name. SCADAR.NET will pre-fill the text box with a default collection name (e.g. SIM_COLLECTION_0 as shown). The collection name can be changed. SCADAR.NET will not allow duplicate collection names!
Beneath the collection name there are 3 grey tiles...
- The first tile is a specific 'Simulation type' (Simulation types are discussed elsewhere). Above a 'Supply side calculated flow' Simulation type is shown. The tile shown can be different! Observe that SCADAR.NET monitors an account users use of Simulation types and places the most frequently used Simulation type in this tile location!
- The next tile denotes a Simulation collection linked to an audit
- The final tile denotes a Simulation collection that is not linked to an audit
Linking a Simulation collection to an audit or not linking a a Simulation collection to an audit is discussed elsewhere.
The following additional information can be useful... Once you link an audit to a Simulation collection, the logger configuration is displayed in the top right box, the audit name is displayed, the base station serial number, the status of the audit data, whether the audit is shared with another SCADAR user and the audit start and end times...
Furthermore, there's a button to reset the number of Simulation types, a go back button and lastly a wand which will take the user to the Simulator page
You can go back to the previous landing page screen by using this button...
Beneath the 'create a new collection' area is a list of existing Simulation collections...
Use the search tool text box to look up a saved Simulation collection by name or use the scroll arrows to scroll through additional pages. Selecting a collection will add information to the right side of the landing page...
- The 'Collection contents' (top right) will indicate the type and quantity of Simulations contained within the selected collection
- The 'Options' (bottom right) will display collection information (for existing collections 'options' cannot be edited and are 'grayed out'
There's a delete button to delete a selected Simulation collection and there's an Open button to open the selected Simulation collection.
