ExistingSolutionsBar

TimeSaverDouble-click a solution name in this list to display the Solution Modification dialog box for the given solution.

 

NoteA solution may undergo two or three stages, depending on its type. When a solution is first created, the solution is marked as Declared. Declared solutions are indicated in the list by the DeclaredSolution icon and are of no use other than for place-holding. A Declared solution is upgraded to Defined when the details of its method are specified. At this point, if the solution requires resolution, as would be the case for static methods and Artificial Neural Networks, the solution is indicated by the DefinedSolution icon, but is still of no use to the system. Finally, when a solution is resolved, or if its resolution can only be brought about during runtime, the solution is marked as Resolved, indicated by the ResolvedSolution icon, which implies the solution is ready for use.
