Change Set Level

The following functions are available when selected from a Change Set:

• Activate/DeactivateActivate/Deactivate

  This feature activates or deactivates the selected Change Set. When active, all data associated with this Change Set is reflected automatically in the input tables as they are opened and edited. Furthermore, a run performed while the Change Set is active will apply the data to the study. The status bar at the upper right of the input tables will also indicate the current active Change Set.

  If another Change Set is activated, the prior active Change Set will be automatically deactivated. Alternatively, this feature can also deactivate the currently active Change Set and return data to the underlying input database.

  With a Change Set active, a base case run (started by clicking the Run button on the Home Tab Toolbar) will use the values in the active Change Set.  Refer to the Study Cases folder of Simulation Options for more information on configuring runs using Change Sets.

The option will only be available when new changes are not yet saved to memory.
