BATCH Control Center
9.1 Starting and operating
The normal sequence of activities involving objects is as follows:
● Create the object
● Select the object
● Perform the actions with the object (for example, open, delete)
Creating objects
To create a new object, select the destination of the object in the editing window of the BATCH
object window (for example the "Formulas" folder if you want to create a new formula category).
To start the function, you then select the menu command Edit > New.
Opening objects
There are several ways of opening an object:
● Double or single click on the object icon
● Select the object and then the menu command Edit > Open. This functions only with objects
that are not folders, for example master recipes.
After opening an object, you can create or modify its content.
Properties of objects
Object properties are data belonging to the object that decide its behavior, for example the
properties of a master recipe.
The menu command Edit > Properties opens a dialog box in which you can see and set the
properties of the selected object.
Renaming objects
The names of batch objects are specified when the objects are created. This name can be
changed by selecting the "Rename" command.
The Rename command is not always available. For example with materials, qualities, or
folders, it is only possible to rename in the corresponding "Properties" dialog box.
Deleting objects
You can delete both folders and objects. It is only possible to delete most folders when they
contain no elements.
Deleting is permanent and cannot be undone. If you are not sure whether or not you still need
an object, it is advisable to archive the entire project before deleting.
