Scenario view modes

After opening a scenario from Scenario Management panel, scenario editor is in a browse mode. You can select one of the three modes: browse, design, and debug. Each of them has a distinctive view of a menu on the left side.

Browse mode

Browse mode allows read-only operations with graph nodes.

In this mode you can inspect all parameters of the scenario graph, but without possibility to change anything in a graph.

Browse menu has three sections:

• Validation – Scenario can be run with three input types selected from a drop-down menu:

  • Auto – the system sets automatically default input values (the default value depends on the variable type)

  • Form – a form popup allows to set input values manually

  • Inline – input values are defined in a JSON format

• Tests - Multiple tests can be defined in a separate window. Tests can be set to run during automatic validation. More about test case definition >> here <<

• Version – Allows to release current state of scenario with version identifier and description. It is possible to restore any version to a develop branch in order to edit it.

• Deployment – Once the scenario is ready, it can be deployed. Optional validation executes default or predefined tests before deployment.

Design mode

Design mode allows users to create graph nodes and set their parameters.

There are two sections in the menu:

• Validation – Any time during scenario design it is possible to run it with one of three input types:

  • Auto – the system sets automatically default input values

  • Form – a form popup allows to set input values manually

  • Inline – input values are defined in a JSON format

• Drag-and-drop menu of scenario building blocks – all available blocks are listed; after putting blocks in the working area it is possible to define parameters and connect blocks.

Editing scenario graph

Debug mode

In debug mode, you can run the scenario and monitor variable values at every graph node. Input variables are defined in the same way as for validation (Auto, Form, Inline).

After running debug, executed graph nodes display a light green edge. A click on a graph node opens a floating window with execution details, including the start and end times, as well as the values of all variables at the end of the node's execution. Multiple display formats are available. To handle large volumes of data, you can apply filters to limit the results shown.
