Introduction

Sonnet provides many commands which may be used to manage Sonnet projects. You may access these commands from several different menus:

  Session Tab: Manage Projects

  Project Editor Tab: File - Manage Project

  Job Queue Tab: Manage Project

When using the Project Editor tab, these commands affect the project you have selected. Below is a complete list of functions within Manage Projects, however depending upon which approach you use not all functions may be available.

Copy

Creates a copy of a project. You may directly edit the folder and project name for the copy of the project.

Move

Moves a project to a new location.

Rename

Renames a project.

Delete

Deletes a project.

Pack

Allows you to pack a project into a Sonnet archive file with the same base name as the source project file and the extension ".zon". See Pack Project dialog box for more details.

Unpack

Opens a packed project (".zon") in the project editor. Use the Unpack Project dialog box to specify where you want the unpacked project saved.

Clean Data

Deletes all of the analysis and log data stored in your project. See Clean Data dialog box for more details.

Unlock

Unlocks the project and allows you to write to or save the project.

Normally, the project is locked because the analysis engine, em, is running an analysis on the project. You must stop the analysis before you can write to the project.

Warning: It is important that you conclusively determine that em is not running before you unlock the project. If you perform an unlock while em is running, you may corrupt your analysis results.

Unmap Files

This command is available from the File - Manage Project menu of the Project Editor tab. See the Unmap External Files dialog box for more details.

Send to Sonnet

You use this command when you wish to send your project to Sonnet Support. This command first packs your project and then opens a web form to allow you to enter your contact information and any message you wish to be sent with the project. After following the instructions on the web form, the project and additional information will be sent to Sonnet Support.
