3 Optimization List

This chapter describes the use of the Optimization List tab.

Introduction

The Optimization List is the dashboard for the ASO runs. In this tab, you can see a list of all existing runs, along with details that describe each run. The list includes runs created by other users, which you can open in read-only mode. You can create a run, copy a run, open a run, or delete a run.

Optimization List Interface

The optimization list, shown in Figure 3-1, includes the columns described in Table 3-1.

Create a Run

To create a new run, click the Create Run icon. You are taken to the Optimization Setup stage in the Execute Space Optimization tab.

In order to create a run, you must have either Micro-space opt analyst permission or analytical super user permission.

Copy a Run

To copy an existing run, highlight that run in the displayed list and click the Copy Run icon. Alternatively, you can also open the run you want to copy and then choose "Save As" from Action menu. You are taken to the Optimization Setup stage in the Execute Space Optimization tab. The fields are populated with copies of all inputs and data. Any existing results are not included. The list of runs is updated with a run that has a new ID; all other fields match the existing run. Only micro space opt analyst and analytical super user can create new runs.

Open a Run

To edit an existing run, highlight that run in the displayed list and click the run ID. Any user can open a run; however, only users with micro space opt analyst or analytical super user permissions can open a run in edit mode. Edit mode is only allowed for runs that a user created and only when the run does not have a status of Running, Approved, or Exported. All other runs are opened in read-only mode.

Delete a Run

Runs can be deleted depending on the status of the run and the permissions a specific user has.

A user with Administrator permissions can delete any run except for one that has a status of Setup in Progress.

Users with micro space opt analyst or analytical super user can delete any runs they have created that do not have a status of Running, Approved, or Exported. They cannot delete runs created by another user.

More than one run can be selected for deletion at the same time.
