How to save your work
Fall 2012 


If you're in the middle of doing the simulation and want to take a break. Not a problem. You can make certain that everything you have done is still there on the screen when you return, even if you access it from another computer on another day.

There are two ways of returning to your work:

  1. Saving/Restoring your workspace
    Foolproof. Not too difficult.
     
  2. Logging in to a previous session
    Usually works. Very easy.
Here's how.

1. Saving/Restoring your workspace
1.A. Saving your workspace

When you're finished for the moment with your work, mouse over the SESSION button and click workspace - save. A box will pop up asking you to name the space. Make the name unique and memorable, but put only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscorse in the name. Then click Submit.

1.B. Restoring your workspace

When you return, log in, being sure to use the same BioBIKE instance and same log-in name as before. Once in BioBIKE, mouse over the SESSION button and click workspace - list. You should be greeted with a list of all the workspaces you've saved. Click the white check box next to the one of interest and click Restore.

Your workspace should reappear just as you saved it.

2. Logging in to a previous session

If you leave a BioBIKE session without having logged out (e.g. you just X out of the browser), the session is saved until the entire system is rebooted (perhaps once a week). You can therefore usually get back to a previous session at log in time, by clicking the Previous Session button.

You'll then get a list of all sessions that you've opened (since the last reboot). Click the session you want (e.g. Session 1).
