Differences in behaviour in Administrator and Operator modes
The layout of the Results Export window in the Operator is the same as in the Administrator. However, the functionality is more restricted in the Operator mode.
In the Administrator, users can select one or more export styles for projection runs. Users of the Administrator mode can also change the output directory and the selection list, and can carry out ad hoc exports, mainly for testing purposes. They can also set up automated exports which will be implemented by the IWLive Pro Server.
In the Operator, the Candidate Export Styles drop target is read-only. Users can select a Current Export Style. The export styles available for selection in the Current Export Style box are the export styles that have been selected as candidates in the Administrator (Candidate Export Styles section). Ad hoc exports can be performed but automated exports cannot. The selection list and output destination can be changed.
Note: The Current Export Style, Export Folder, and Selection For Export settings are not saved in the baseline when they are modified.
