Main Form

The main form is displayed as soon as the application starts. It contains the Main Menu to give you access to all the available features of the program, and optionally a toolbar for quick access to commands. There is also a status bar at the bottom of the form that gives useful information whilst you are using the program such as the progress of the Pipeline Runner when running a project from within the application. The form looks something like this:

This is the left hand pane which is automatically tied to the current project and controls the information that you see in the right hand pane.

This is the right hand pane which can have multiple projects open at the same time, allowing you to do things like copy and paste between them to build a new project script from parts of other project scripts that are tested and know to be good. With multiple projects open the form will look something like this:

If you select the Options node, the view will change to show the options for the project open on the current tab:

Project Name	Contains the name of the current project. This is normally set automatically
Description	Enter a description of the project, and its purpose, for the benefit of others that may need to understand what you are trying to do in the future.
Password	If you wish to prevent unauthorised persons from accessing the project, you can enter a password here. Whenever anyone tries to open the project they will have to provide the correct password or the system will refuse them access. Note: Because the project files are encrypted, the password has nothing at all to do with the encryption and is itself encrypted as part of the project. Therefore using a password to limit access to a project does not affect project security in any way.
Unique Id	This contains a unique identifier specific to the current project. This is automatically generated and remains part of the project except when saving an already saved project with a new name at which point a new unique identifier will be automatically generated.
Task Configurations	This options allows you to create, edit, and manage Task configurations. It will only be active if you have a Pro License and there is a Tasks section in the project script with at least two tasks defined within it.

To select a different project, simply click on the relevant tab at the top of the Project Editing area. The selected project will become the current project and the dialog will change to show the current view of the current project

Note: The settings in the Current Project area will automatically change to the most recent settings for the newly selected project. In other words, if you switch from a project showing the Options in the Project Editing area to one which had the Script view as the most recent view, the view will change automatically.
