Running Sessions
Sessions are run from the Sessions workspace. You can monitor a Session as it is running, and watch the progress of each individual task.
Run a Session
-
Navigate to the Sessions workspace.
-
From the Navigation Pane, select a Session to run.
-
Click the Play button to run the Session.
The following controls are available from the top bar of the Sessions workspace:
The play button starts a Session, or resumes a paused Session. |
|
The pause button suspends a currently running Session. |
|
The stop button discards all data and results, and rewinds to the beginning of the Session. |
|
The rewind button rewinds the most recently performed task within a Session. Note: You can also rewind to any task by right-clicking it and selecting ‘Rewind’ |
|
Session Indicator |
To the right of the stop button is the Session Indicator. This displays the current status of the Session eg. Not Started, Paused, Error, Rewinding, etc |
Note: The ability to rewind a Session is disabled when using Production Mode.
While a Session is running 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.
