The 窶彜earch窶 view allows you to specify yet another three search conditions, as well as specify what kind of 窶彜earch action窶 you want to perform.
The 窶彜kip aliases in search窶 option is used to exclude alias nodes during the search. Thus, if you check this option, DynRisk will ignore all alias nodes.
The 窶彜kip unmarked nodes窶 option is related to the 窶廴arked窶 property. The main purpose of this property is to facilitate more advanced search capabilities. When you have specified a search criterion, you can let DynRisk 窶徇ark窶 all nodes in your model satisfying this criterion. That is, after the search is finished, all nodes satisfying the specified criterion will have its 窶廴arked窶 property switched 窶廾n窶, while all the other nodes will have this property switched 窶廾ff窶. You can then continue by specifying another criterion, and let DynRisk perform a search only among the marked nodes. To do this, leave the 窶彜kip unmarked nodes窶 checkbox checked.
If you want DynRisk to include both marked and unmarked nodes in the search, leave the 窶彜kip unmarked nodes窶 checkbox unchecked.
The 窶彜earch level窶 popup menu is used to select one of the following two options:
窶｢ All directories
窶｢ Current folder
If you choose the 窶廣ll directories窶 option, DynRisk will search through all folders in the model for nodes satisfying the specified criterion.
If you select the 窶廚urrent folder窶 option, DynRisk will search the folder represented by the active window and all possible subfolders of this folder.
If the active window is the top level directory, the two search level options will be equivalent.
The 窶彜earch action窶 popup menu is used to specify what DynRisk should do whenever a node satisfying the specified criterion is found. The following actions are available:
窶｢ Open node
窶｢ Select node
窶｢ Make aliases
窶｢ Mark nodes
窶｢ Mark excl.
窶｢ Unmark nodes
窶｢ Unmark excl.
If you select the 窶廾pen node窶 option, DynRisk will find the first node satisfying the specified criterion and open the 窶廢dit node窶 dialog box for this node. To open the 窶廢dit node窶 dialog box for the next node, use the 窶廡ind again窶 command in the 窶彜pecial窶 menu.
If you select the 窶彜elect node窶 option, DynRisk will find the first node satisfying the specified criterion, open the folder where the node is located and select the node. To select the next node, use the 窶廡ind again窶 command in the 窶彜pecial窶 menu.
If the 窶廴ake aliases窶 option is selected, DynRisk will create a new folder in the current folder which will be named 窶彜earch aliases窶. Inside this folder, DynRisk will create aliases for all the nodes satisfying the specified criterion. Finally, DynRisk will open the 窶彜earch aliases窶 folder in 窶廸ode table view窶. This option is particularly useful if you want to make changes to a group of nodes which is spread all around in a model. Say e.g., that you have a lot of nodes in your model where the distribution is 窶廰ognormal窶, and assume that you want to change all these distributions to 窶廢xponential窶. Then all you need to do is to let DynRisk create a 窶彜earch aliases窶 folder containing aliases for all the nodes where the distribution is 窶廰ognormal窶. When the folder is opened, you can change one of the columns in the table such that it contains the distribution property, type in 窶廢xponential窶 in the first row, and use the 窶廡ill down窶 command in the 窶廢dit menu窶.
If the 窶廴ark nodes窶 option is selected, DynRisk will search through the model and mark all nodes satisfying the specified criterion. The remaining nodes will be left unchanged. That is, the 窶扨arked窶 property of the nodes that do not satisfy the specified criterion will be left in its present state. Thus, the marked nodes will be left marked, and the unmarked nodes will be left unmarked. Use this option either if you are certain that all the nodes are unmarked when the search is initiated, or if you want to extend the present set of marked nodes.
If the 窶廴ark excl.窶 option is selected, DynRisk will search through the model and mark all nodes satisfying the specified criterion. The remaining nodes will be unmarked. Use this option if you want the set of marked nodes to be exactly those who satisfy the specified criterion and no others.
If the 窶弑nmark nodes窶 option is selected, DynRisk will search through the model and unmark all nodes satisfying the specified criterion. The remaining nodes will be left unchanged. That is, the 窶扨arked窶 property of the nodes that do not satisfy the specified criterion will be left in its present state. Thus, the marked nodes will be left marked, and the unmarked nodes will be left unmarked. Use this option either if you are certain that all the nodes are marked when the search is initiated, or if you want to reduce the present set of marked nodes.
If the 窶弑nmark excl.窶 option is selected, DynRisk will search through the model and unmark all nodes satisfying the specified criterion. The remaining nodes will be marked. Use this option if you want the set of unmarked nodes to be exactly those who satisfy the specified criterion and no others.
