User interface tour
The project view in the main Teuthis window
provides a high-level overview of your projects, experiments, runs, and
jobs. The names of these entries are shown in a hierarchical list
within the main window; each can be expanded or collapsed by clicking
on the small triangles that appear to the left of each name.
Additionally, the description, status, and last modification date of
each entry can be listed in separate columns (these are enabled by
default). A different font and text color can be associated with
each type of entry to make it easier to read the list.
By double-clicking on an entry in the project
view, you bring up its associated properties dialog. By
right-clicking on an entry, you bring up a popup menu that includes the
most important actions that can be performed on that entry, including
cloning and deleting entries.
From the File menu you have the following options:
New project: Create a new project, adding its name to the project view and bringing up its properties dialog.
Open: Open a new project file, discarding any previous data. You will be prompted if there are any unsaved changes.
Merge: Open a new project file, but do not discard any previous data. Machine, application, and project data will be imported, but your user settings will be left unchanged. Note that identical machine or application definitions will not be combined with this option, so if for instance both the file being edited and the merged file contain machines named "tungsten," after merging you will have two machine definitions with this name. The resulting merged file is not saved to disk unless you save it explicitly.
Save: Save the current machine, application, project, and user settings data. If you have not previously selected a file name, you will be prompted to supply one.
From the View menu you can adjust the appearance
of the project view as follows:
Update all jobs: Force an update of all jobs whose run status is not "Complete." Generally this will involve the execution of a remote command on each machine with unfinished jobs, so you may be presented with several authentication requests as a result of choosing this menu item.
The Settings menu allows you to access the
dialogs to modify user preferences, application profiles, and machine
profiles.
