The Shortcut Menus
Right-clicking within the data source area on the tab opens a shortcut menu
that enables you to manage data sources.
Rebuild Task Hierarchy - reads all of the tasks and associated data (as
defined in the Field Selector Dialog Box) from the selected data sources
and adds these to the Tasks tab. Choose this option also to synchronize
with the selected project file when new tasks have been added to the project
file. This will rebuild the task hierarchy in TimeLiner, containing all of
the latest tasks and data.
Synchronize - Updates all existing tasks in the Tasks tab, with the latest
associated data from the selected data sources (for example, Start and End
dates).
Delete - deletes the currently selected data source. If you have refreshed
the data source before you deleted it, any tasks and data read from the data
source will remain on the Tasks tab.
Edit - enables you to edit the selected data source. This will display the
Field Selector Dialog Box (page 616) , from which you can define new fields
or re-define existing ones.
Refresh - displays the
Refresh from Data Source Dialog Box (page 620)
where you can refresh the selected data source.
Rename - enables you to rename the data source to something more
appropriate. When the text field becomes highlighted, enter the new name,
then press Enter to save it.
NOTE Tasks in the data source will be ignored if they do not include both start
and end dates, with the start date being less than or equal to the end date.
Configure Tab
The Configure tab allows you to set up the task parameters, such as task
types, appearance definitions for tasks, and the default model appearance at
the start of the simulation.
