If you follow the same naming conventions in your model and database, this window | + | This tab (called Database tab) is located in the edit block window, which opened by right clicking or quick-double clicking on the block. This tab allows you to quickly import values to a specific parameter from either the local or external database. If you follow the same naming conventions in your model and database, this tab can also help a lot in finding relevant parameter values by using the “auto-match” feature. |
The procedure is simple: search the database using specific criteria, then assign values to the parameter by selecting indices from the “match” column of the result table. | The procedure is simple: search the database using specific criteria, then assign values to the parameter by selecting indices from the “match” column of the result table. | ||

- | The window is divided into four sections: Search, Match, Filter and a table. | + | |
===== Search ===== | ===== Search ===== | ||
- | This window | + | This tab lets you give criteria for a database search. |
- | | + | * **Search** - Click this button to start the search in the search |
- | * **Max hits** - The maximum number of search hits to present in the table. This limit is necessary when searching a very large database, or when using wildcards in the search name. | + | * **Type** - The type of parameter |
- | | + | * **Tags** - Tags that are assigned |
- | * **Stop** - Click to stop an ongoing search. | + | |
- | * **Clear** - Clear the search result table | + | |
- | * **Database** - Select either the local or external database. Refer to [[Setting_up_an_external_database|Setting up an external database]] for instructions on how to set up and connect to an external database. | + | |

- | * **Match** - This is where you assign values to your parameter. When you click in this cell, a menu let you choose from all available indices for the parameter. Naturally, an index can only be matched with one search | + | |
- | * **Name** - The name of the parameter | + | |
- | * **Value** - The nominal (deterministic) value of the parameter. | + | |
- | * **Distribution** - The probability density function of the parameter. | + | |
- | * **Unit** - The parameter unit. | + | |
- | * **Usability level** - This field only applies when searching the external database, and is a rank for the usability of the parameter. | + | |
- | * **Insert date** - The date the parameter was added to the database. | + | |

- | ===== Match & Assign ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Often it is valuable to let Ecolego guess on which values to match. For this Ecolego uses a list of prioritized properties. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In an iterative procedure, Ecolego examine one index at the time and rank all the search | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * **Assign** - Assign the selected matched values to the parameter. | + | |
- | * **Overwrite** - When assigning values, overwrite existing non-empty values. | + | |
- | * **Auto-match** - Let Ecolego match all parameter values for you using the method described above. | + | |
- | * **Prioritize** - Change the rank given to each property. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== Filter ===== | + | |
- | * **Hide irrelevant indices** - Hide all results for parameters | + | Underneath the search constraints a list of available |
- | * **Hide un-matched rows** - Lets you quickly display only the rows that have been matched. | + | |
