How to Use the Toolbars

IWS has three main work areas accessible via the Solution, WorkSheet, and Settings tabs.

Solution Tab Toolbar

In the Solution tab, you can create, save, publish, run, and monitor a solution as well as access the XPanels module for the advanced panel extension features.

Create New Solution

Creates a brand new solution.

Open Solution

Opens an existing solution.

Close Solution

Closes the current solution. If you have made any changes, you will receive a warning that unsaved changes will be lost and you will have the option of saving before closing.

Save Solution

Saves the current solution. Saves only the mapping between the objects. If any object properties are changed, Save Solution does not take those changes into account and you must click Save All Files under the Worksheet tab.

Add to Favorites

Marks current solution as a favorite. If you click Open Solution and click Favorites, this solution (as well as any others you have marked as Favorite) will be displayed on the right. This option allows you quick access to the most frequently used solutions.

Publish

Publishes the solution to your Eagle environment.

Run

Publishes the solution and runs it (you will be prompted to select a data file to be processed), displaying the result in the Monitoring Tool. Use this feature when testing your solution.

Export

Saves the solution to your local drive. You will be prompted to select a path. The solution will be saved as a .zip file.

Import

Loads the solution to your local drive. This allows you to move a solution created in one environment (and exported) to another environment and then access the solution with IWS.

Print Solution

Prints out the solution diagram. Currently, this prints only a high level diagram.

Open XPanel

Allows you to manage panel extensions. This is an advanced feature used when panel extensions are required.

Show RTR Preview

Allows you to view the Run Task Request (RTR) message for the current workflow.

Monitoring

Opens the Monitoring Tool in a separate window. This tool filters on the currently open solution and displays processes that ran only for this solution. The Monitoring tool is read-only, you can view which processes have and have not run, but you cannot run or rerun processes from this tool.

EBS Tool

Opens EBS application in a separate window.
