The File Menu

New This erases the current analysis results and command view settings. The authorization key and proxy settings are not touched. Use this command to clear OptiLink before starting a brand new analysis.
Open... Brings up a file open dialog where you can select a previously saved OptiLink database and load it into the OptiLink views. This will set the OptiLink command fields and options as well as the results views just as the analysis looked when the file was originally saved. The OptiLink database filename will show in the the OptiLink  title bar.
Save Save the current OptiLink analysis database to a file. If a Save or Save As... has already been done, the filename shown in the title bar will be overwritten, otherwise a file save dialog will open so you can select a destination file name. An OptiLink database my be saved anytime that OptiLink is not running and at any stage of analysis. For example, not only can finished analysis runs be saved, but complex command settings without any results could also be saved and used as a template for later analyses. This might be particularly useful where a large number of "Pages to Include" are used to keep track of link partners. These settings could be saved and analysis runs done periodically to verify that the links still exist.
Save As... Open a save file dialog and save the OptiLink database to a filename you select. The filename will be added to the title bar.


Report Options... Opens a dialog where the sections to include in a printed or exported report can be selected. Initially, all sections are enabled.
Export Report Creates a printable version of the OptiLink analysis database in HTML and exports it to your default system browser.
Print Report... Like export, but sends the report to a printer you select.
Print Setup... Opens the system printer setup dialog to change paper size, print orientation and the like.


Setup... This opens the application setup dialog where the authorization key is entered and network proxy settings (if required) are set. For information on these two topics see authorization setup and proxy setup respectively.


Exit This exits OptiLink. You can also click the close box in the upper right corner of the window to achieve the same thing.
