- | This window 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 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. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The following columns are hidden by default, but can be displayed by clicking the [[Table_control_button|{{: | + | |

- | * **Full name** - The full name of the parameter. | + | |
* **Dependencies** - The type of dependence, for instance “Element” or “Nuclide”. | * **Dependencies** - The type of dependence, for instance “Element” or “Nuclide”. | ||
- | * **Confidence** - The confidence in the parameter value. | ||

- | ===== Match & Assign ===== | + | Underneath the search constraints |
- | + | ||
- | 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 results to that index. By default, the name of the parameter is the highest ranked property. That is, the name of the parameter | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * **Assign** - Assign | + | |
- | * **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 that have indices that do not apply to the target parameter. | + | |
- | * **Hide un-matched rows** - Lets you quickly display only the rows that have been matched. | + | |
