Load a CalME Input file

The following controls, located on the Projects Page, are used to browse the local computer's file system to locate and select a file that has been saved from within CalME and load it back into CalME.

One of the buttons in the upper-right of the CalME application window allows you to save a text-file version of the inputs for the selected trial to your local computer as a backup to the data stored in the CalME database and for project documentation.

The "Save To File" button generates a json-formatted text file and allows you to download it to your local computer. Once a CalME input file has been downloaded, you can use the controls described here to select it and upload it back into CalME.

This is not done very often but can be useful for the following scenarios:

•Something has happened to the database version of the trial data e.g., it has become corrupt, the UCPRC database server had an issue, you made changes to the database version that you would like to revert back to an earlier version, etc. Again, this does not happen very often.

•A colleague has an example trial that you would like to use. In this case, your colleague would export the trial to a file, send it to you, and then you would be able to load it into your database and use it.

The following is a description of the CalME exported file related import controls:

•Radio buttons to select the destination project for the uploaded file data

•Create a New Project for the Uploaded File - selecting this option will create a new Project for file data using the name of the project in the file. This is the default action.

•Add the Uploaded File to the Currently Loaded Project - selecting this option will add the file data to the currently load project

•Browse button - used to locate and select a CalME exported file on the local computer's file system

•Upload button - used to upload the file to CalME

•Upload Status area - used to show the status of the file upload process

The question mark in the blue circle in the upper-right of the control group allows you to get help on the controls (this topic).
