While in select mode, keeping the left mouse button pressed and dragging over an area of the pane, you can select several items in the model. Press the Alt key on your keyboard to include Pipes in the selection. | |

Distribute all selected objects horizontally. | |
Distribute all selected objects vertically. | |
Add a new Datasource to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new FTP Site to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Database Collector to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new File Collector to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Database Exporter to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new File Exporter to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Stream with function Aggregate to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Stream with function Calculate to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Stream with function Calculate By Set to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Stream with function Cartesian to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Stream with function Merge to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Alarm Generator to the Analysis Model. | |
Add a new Pipe to the Analysis Model. | |
By pressing this you get a slider which allows you to zoom out from the Analysis Model View pane. This is useful if you have a complex model and want to get a high-level overview. | |
Open the Analysis Model View details. | |
Make a copy of the model and all its contents | |
Export a copy of the model and all of its contents to an XML file so that it can be imported into another system (or saved as a backup) |
Hover Menu
In the Analysis Model View pane a hover menu is also available for any object. To get this menu, move your pointer over the object and the hover menu will appear. The hover menu provides a number of the same buttons that appear in the menu bar, described above. It also provides the following buttons:
Bring up a list of attributes for the object. Attributes can be selected from this list and dragged into an attribute list window for another object, so this is useful when building new objects in the model. | |
Show the list of views configured on this object. | |
Show the list of Stream Sets for this object. This brings up the Stream Set viewer. | |
Show the list of Alarms that relate to this object. This brings up the Alarm viewer. | |
Bring into the pane all objects in the model that are inputs to this object. | |
Bring into the pane all objects in the model that are outputs of this object. | |
Run the Analysis Engine on this object. All objects required to build the object selected will be run, but only these objects; so this may run Analysis on objects that are not in the pane, and Analysis may not be run on some of the objects that are in the pane. | |
Remove this object from the Analysis Model View pane. This does not delete the object from the underlying model in PhixFlow. |
Object Context Menu
If you right click on any object in the Analysis Model View pane a context menu will appear. Many of the options available are the same as those available from the menu bar or a hover menu, as described above. A few addition options are also available:
