Running Sessions

Sessions are run and monitored from the Sessions workspace.

ClosedRun a Session

  1. Navigate to the Sessions interface.
  2. From the Navigation Pane, select a session to run.
  3. Open the Task tab.
  4. Click the Play button to run the Session.

The following controls are available from the top right-hand side of the Sessions workspace:

  • - The play button starts a session, or resumes a paused session.

  • - The pause button suspends a currently running session.

  • - The rewind button rewinds the most recent task performed within a session.

  • - The stop button discards all data and results, and rewinds to the beginning of the session.

While a session is running, you can expand and contract tasks and view results from completed tasks but you can not insert, delete, or edit tasks.

When a session has completed, it is no longer possible to rewind tasks.

Note: If the session does not end with a Pause task, all intermediate data will be discarded when the session completes.

Monitoring Progress

You can monitor a session as it is running, and watch the progress of each individual task.

The status of each task is indicated by an icon on the right-hand side of its entry in the task list:

  • - Task is currently running

  • - Task is paused

  • - Task is completed

Note: Before the task has started, no icon is displayed.

Similarly, the status of a session is indicated by its icon in the Navigation Pane:

  • - Session is not yet running

  • - Session is running

  • - Session is paused

  • - Session is completed
