Quick / Saved
The Quick tab contains a complete list of available utility types; essentially, an exhaustive repository of existing utilities. These templates do not store custom selection settings and should not be confused with operator-created Saved utilities; they are mainly used for running “ad-hoc” utilities or as a foundation for your own Saved utilities. If you haven't been able to locate the exact templates you are looking for, chances are you will find them here.
The Saved tab contains all operator-created utilities; custom templates that store the selection criteria used to run the utility.
Unlock / Lock
The Unlock / Lock icon only appears when the Saved tab is selected; the default state of the Saved tab is always “locked”. This prevents an operator from making unintentional changes to the currently selected utility. When the Saved tab is locked, utilities may still be viewed and run, but modification of any of the utility settings are disabled until the utility is unlocked. The Saved tab will remain unlocked until you click the lock icon again or the window is closed.
Actions Menu
The Actions drop-down menu (represented by a gear/cog icon) contains specialized utility-specific functions and other tools; the Actions menu only appears when the Saved tab is selected.
Duplicate Utility—Should you want nearly identical settings for a custom-created utility, this allows you to make a copy of the selected Saved utility, give it a new name, and make whatever changes you require.
Delete Utility—This selection completely removes the selected Saved utility from the Utility Selection tab. This can not be undone (i.e. Saved utilities can not be restored), so think twice before making this selection.
Save / Revert
Once changes have been made to the currently selected Saved utility, the Revert and Save options appear. Clicking Revert will discard changes to the Saved utility; clicking Save will keep your changes.
Operation Management
Alexandria's Operations Management is a specialized repository where past and future operations (i.e. reports, utilities, exports, or imports) are sorted and stored. You can view operation summaries and open, email, or download saved operations that have previously completed.
Clicking Run at the bottom of the Utilities interface will queue the selected utility in the Operation Management interface.
