Viewing Scenarios in the Scenario Browser

To view and manage scenarios and to create new ones, click the Scenarios tab to display the Scenario Browser.

The left part of this page is the Scenario Navigator, which displays the folders in which scenarios can be organized, and the right part of the page is the Scenario Browser, which displays the scenarios.

Scenario Navigator

The Scenario Navigator displays the folder hierarchy in which scenarios are organized. The names of the folders and their subfolders are listed in a tree hierarchy, along with the number of scenarios contained in each folder. Scenarios can be assigned to folders when they are created or edited (see Creating New Scenarios).

You can restrict the display of scenarios in the Scenario Browser to only those contained in a specific folder by clicking the folder's name in the navigator. The folder name is highlighted and the Working Folder notice below the menu bar states the active folder:

Note

The current Working Folder applies to all the artifact pages of the Console, namely Scenarios, Scenario Suites, Simulations, Reports, as well as Test Sets and Input Datasets. When you navigate between these pages, the artifacts displayed in their respective browsers are restricted to those contained in the working folder. A folder is automatically deleted from the navigators when all artifacts have been removed from it.

You can hide the folder navigation tree from view, while keeping the working folder at its current setting, by clicking the double arrow symbol to the right of the navigator title:

The navigator title changes to show the name of the working folder:

Click the double-arrow symbol to revert to the full navigator view.

Scenario Browser

The Scenario Browser displays the scenarios in the currently selected folder, or all scenarios in the database when Show All is selected. The browser displays the Name, Folder, Ruleset Path, and Description of each scenario.

You can perform up to four Actions on each scenario, as follows:

Edit a scenario: opens the Scenario Builder, allowing you to view and modify the components of a selected scenario. See Editing Scenarios.
Launch a scenario: invokes the execution of the scenario, producing a scenario report with ruleset execution results and test results. This option is inactive if no ruleset path is defined in the scenario definition or if no SSP is available to launch it. See Launching Scenarios.
Download a scenario: packages and saves the scenario and its dependent elements into an RSM archive. See Downloading a Scenario as an RSM Archive.
Delete a scenario: deletes the scenario from the database. This option is inactive if the scenario is a member of a scenario suite. See Deleting Scenarios.

Two other actions you can perform in the browser are to delete multiple scenarios, by selecting them in the list and clicking Delete Selected Items, and to start the process of building a new scenario by clicking Create a new scenario at the bottom of the scenario list. See Creating New Scenarios.
