File menu

The File menu offers the following commands:

file_menu

New Network starts a new GeNIe model and opens it in a new Graph View window. This command can be also invoked by pressing the New (new_tool) tool on the Standard Toolbar or using the CTRL+N shortcut.

Open Network opens an existing model that has been saved previously on the disk. This command can be also invoked by pressing the Open (open_tool) tool on the Standard Toolbar or using the CTRL+O shortcut.

Open from BayesBox opens an existing model from a BayesBox-powered model repository. This command can be also invoked by using the CTRL+SHIFT+O shortcut.

Save saves the currently opened model using the current file name and file format. This command can be also invoked by pressing the Save (save_button) tool on the Standard Toolbar or using the CTRL+S shortcut.

Save As saves the currently opened document to a newly specified file name in a possibly newly specified format. If the document is new (i.e., if it has never before been saved), this command is equivalent to the Save As command.

The Open Network, Open from BayesBox and Save/Save As commands are discussed in detail in the introduction to this section.

Open GIS File... opens an existing map file that has been stored in the disk for the purpose of geo-processing (described in the Geo-processing section).

Open Data File... opens an existing data file that has been stored in the disk.

Import ODBC Data... opens an existing database file that has been stored in the disk.

Open Data File... and Import ODBC Data... commands are discussed in detail in Accessing data section.

Close closes all windows of the current model. If there are any changes to the currently opened model that have not been saved, GeNIe will warn you using the following dialog box

save_changes_dialog

If you want to save the changes that you have made since you have last saved the model, click the Yes button or press Enter. If you want to discard them, click the No button. If you have second thoughts about exiting GeNIe, click Cancel.

Export Annotations... is a simple way of extracting all verbal descriptions and comments from the model and saving them in a single text file.

save_annotations

The annotations extracted from the Hepar II network will look as follows in Notepad:

exported_annotations_heparii

If there are any annotations or texts in the model, they will be included in the text file.

Open File Location opens the directory where the current model comes from.

Print... prints the current Graph View window. This command can be also invoked by pressing the Print (print_tool) tool from the Standard Toolbar or using the CTRL+P shortcut.

The following dialog box allows you to modify some of the printing options, such as choose the printer, the range of pages to be printed, the number of copies to be printed, and other printer properties (through Properties... button).

print_dialog

Print Preview displays the content of the current Graph view window on the screen as it would appear when printed. When you choose this command, the main window is replaced with a print preview window in which one or two pages will be displayed in their printing format. The print preview toolbar offers you options to view either one or two pages at a time; move back and forth through the document; zoom in and out of pages, and initiate the print job (bypassing the Print command).

print_preview

Print Setup... opens a dialog that allows for selecting the printer and printer and its properties, including the paper size, source, and orientation. This command presents a Print Setup dialog box, where you specify the printer and its connection. The appearance of the dialog box below may vary depending upon your system configuration.

print_setup_dialog

GeNIe displays the names and disk locations of the most recently used models. The number of these can be set in Program options. You can load them by choosing their names from the menu, bypassing the Open command.

Exit ends your GeNIe session and exits GeNIe.
