An analysis model view shows a picture of an analysis model, or part of an analysis model.

Model views can include datasources, database collector, file collector, streams, alarm generators, database exporters, file exporters and FTP sites.

Model views can be saved, or built on request.

Form: Model view details

The model view details form appears when you:

Add a new model: right click on Analysis Models in the repository browser and select Add Analysis Model
Open details for an existing model: double click on the model view in the repository browser

HELPTRUNKTODO: open these details in the repository browser from an open model view

Field	Description
Name	Name of the model view.
Public	If ticked, all users can view and edit the model view. If not ticked, only the owner can view or edit the model view.
Description	Optional: Description of the model view.

Form Icons

The form provides the standard form icons.

Form: Model View Pane

The model view pane can be opened by right-clicking on an existing model in the repository browser and selecting Display.

Add new objects

Drag on existing objects

You can drag objects that have already been created onto a model view pane. For example, if you want to include a stream, open the list of streams in the repository browser, select the stream and drag it onto the pane. Similarly, objects can be added from the list of datasources, file collectors, database collectors, alarm generators, file exporters, database exporters and FTP sites.

When you drag an object onto an model view in this way, if this it linked (via one or more pipes) to other objects on the view, PhixFlow will draw in the links.

Form Icons

The form provides the standard form icons as well as the following:

	The default mode for the cursor in the model pane is select. Pressing this button sets the mode to drag. Alternatively, while in select mode, keep the Ctrl key pressed on your keyboard, and with the left mouse button pressed move the pointer.
	If you are in drag mode, pressing this button puts you back into select mode (the default mode when you open a new Analysis Model View pane). 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.
	Organise selected objects in a grid.
	Align all selected objects left.
	Align all selected objects right.
	Align all selected objects to top.
	Align all selected objects to bottom.
	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:

Show Models: show a list of all the models that contain this object
Copy Object: Create a copy of the object
Export Object: Export a copy of the object
Show All Predecessors: bring all objects that are used to build this object in the underlying model into the pane.
Show All Successors: bring all objects that use this object in the underlying model into the pane.
Rollback Stream/Alarms: rollback data in the Stream or Alarms generated by the Alarm Generator. This brings up the rollback form.
Permanently Delete: permanently delete the object from the underlying model in PhixFlow. This removes the object from PhixFlow completely - only do this if you are certain that you never want to use this object again.

Model Pane Context Menu

If you right click anywhere on the modelling pane a context menu will appear.

Rollback Selected Objects: Rollback the data in the currently selected Streams and Alarm Generators.
Copy Selected Objects: Create copies of the currently selected objects.
Export Selected Objects: Export copies of the currently selected objects.
Delete Selected Objects: Delete selected objects.
Enable Selected Objects: Enable selected objects.
Disable Selected Objects: Disable selected objects.
Switch The Static Flag On In The Selected Objects: Switch the 'static' flag on in the currently selected Streams and Pipes.
Switch The Static Flag Off In The Selected Objects: Switch the 'static' flag off in the currently selected Streams and Pipes.
Merge Selected Streams: Create new Merge Stream in order to merge selected Streams and configure it.

Keyboard support

If you are in select mode, there are keyboard commands available:

Ctrl: Switch to drag mode (move the pointer with the left mouse button pressed) / Select multiple items (click left mouse button on items).
Alt: Include pipes in selection.

Forms: Analysis Model View

An Analysis Model View shows a picture of an Analysis Model, or part of an Analysis Model.

Analysis Model Views can include Datasources, Database Collector, File Collector, Streams, Alarm Generators, Database Exporters, File Exporters and FTP Sites.

Models can be saved, or built on request.

Note that all objects that appear on Analysis Models have a context menu entry "Show Models" which will display a list of all the models that contain that object.

Form: Analysis Model Details

The Analysis Model Details appears when you press from the list of Analysis Models, to create a new Analysis Model. These details can also be requested for an existing model from the Analysis Model View pane - see below.

Field	Description
Name	Name of the model.
Owner	User that owns the model.
Public	If ticked, all users can view and edit the model. If not ticked, only the owner can view or edit the model.
Description	Description of the model.
