Legend

• Rows starting with “//” are comments and consequently do not correspond to processed RL statements. 

• @set is a variable containing the dataset and includes: 

  • @set.att  for the attribute properties 

  • @set.data for the data matrix 

  • @set.rec for the record properties.

Copy and paste actions

Copying and pasting allows you to copy single operations performed in one Data Manager to another.

1. Right-click the cells of all the operations you want to copy in the Action column.

2. Select Copy actions.

3. Right-click again on any cell in the Action column and select Paste actions: the operations will be added to the end of the list.

Alternatively the CTRL+C / CTRL+V key combinations can be used to copy and paste actions.

Delete selected or all operations

1. Select one or more cells in the Action column.

2. Right-click and select either:

   • Deleted selected actions to remove only the operations you selected in step one, or

   • Delete all actions, to remove all the actions in the History table.

Alternatively the Delete key can be used to delete actions.

Reset operations

1. Right-click on any cell in the Action column.

2. Select Reset actions to reset all the operations to the Ready status.

As the history is normally recomputed from the first non-computed row, resetting operations allows you to re-compute all operations from the first row. This is particularly useful when errors occur, or if you have changed a process variable value and want the Data Manager to be re-computed with new value.

Export operations in a .txt file

The export option allows you to export the RL code associated with every operation that has been performed on the data set as in a .txt file.

1. Right-click on any cell in the Action column.

2. Select Export history.

3. In the Save description file dialog box select where you want to save the file and enter a name for it.

4. Click Save.

Drag and drop operations

You can move the operations to a different position in the history to change the order in which operations are performed.
