Save and Print Product Systems

Save Product Systems to File

To save your data permanently you'll have to save the product systems individually - it is not possible to save complete projects as a whole. There are three ways to save a product system:

  1. Save the product system (i.e. the content of the visible product system editor) via the menubar: "File → Save" or "File → Save as..." You can also use "File → Save All" to save all product systems, which currently have a tab in the editor area.
  2. If you have made unsaved changes in a product system editor and try to close it by clicking on the "X" in its tab, a dialog box appears where you are asked if you want to save your changes.
  3. It is also possible to export the active product system by selecting "File → Export" from the menubar. You are then asked to enter a file location. Note that you can only export product systems to directories outside your current working directory.

Save and Print Results

The results of your calculations can be saved in HTML format, which can then be displayed and printed using a web browser.

  1. First make sure, that you have both graphics panels (bar and star chart) open and have at least once pressed the calculate button () to generate the graphics to be exported.
  2. Click the "Generate HTML" button () in any of the graphics panels. A dialog box opens where you can enter a meaningful name. The extension (".html") is added automatically and need not be supplied by the user. When you check the "Open in Browser" option, your web browser will be started to display the newly created result file.
  3. You can print the results from within the web browser.
  4. The exported result file can be found in the subdirectory 'html' of the install directory (e.g. as ecoclass/html/report0/report0.html).
