L3 System Settings

8.5.5 Templates File Location The Template location may be used to save test setups that you do not want to have accessible on your L3 system. As a “template” these files may serve as a test that can be copied and used for other materials or components. A “template” can be created that has a common sequence as another test setup, but which has different step attributes. Templates can help speed up the creation of new test methods. NOTE A test setup that is saved to the Template location will not appear on the Home view. This test cannot be used on the system until it has been copied or moved to the Tests directory. The default location for Template files is the Metlogix directory on your L3 workstation and the Templates sub-directory. 8.5.6 Tests File Location The Tests directory contains the “active” test setups for your L3 system. These tests appear in the Home directory. The default location for Test files is the Metlogix directory on your L3 workstation and the Tests sub-directory. CAUTION The Test files are the source file for a test. If this file is removed from the Tests directory it will not appear on the main Home directory. If a Test file is deleted, the test and all associated Runs are deleted.

. 8.5.7 Archive Setting The Archive file location is used to house historical Runs files. Once the Runs Limit for a test setup has been reached, the oldest run file for that test is removed from the Runs List. The oldest run file is saved to the Archive file location where it may be imported into the active Runs List so that it’s results can be compared to active runs. There is no limit to the number of files that can be saved in the Archive sub-directory. The default location for Archive files is the Metlogix directory on your L3 workstation and the Archive sub-directory. NOTE Historical runs that are no longer included in an active test’s Runs List are automatically saved to the Archive sub-

directory. Archived runs may be used for benchmarking or comparing historical runs and results to current runs and results.
