Setting Load Preferences

The Analysis Workbench Load Configuration Dialog Box

Set Loading preferences before you load data into the Analysis Workbench.

To load the Analysis Workbench Load Configuration Dialog Box:

Select the Load Options command from the File menu. The Analysis Workbench Load Configuration dialog box appears.

This dialog box has six tabs which are used to set various options:

  • Load Filter - Specifies which files are to be loaded from selected scan files.

  • Recognition - Specifies which recognition method to use and which files to pass through it.
  • Asset Fields - Adds additional columns of asset data.
  • Display Filter - To minimize the amount of data to be viewed, selections can be made after the files have been processed. In addition, selected views can be chosen.
  • Business view – licensable applications - Operational view – all applications with partial or full identification
  • Memory - These are memory saving options. Includes options for selecting:

    • File attribute information to load
    • Directories to load
    • Machine data to load
    • File Version Data

Configures loading of additional information collected at scan time.

Note The Recognition, Memory and File Version Data settings are disabled and cannot be changed while data is present in Analysis Workbench. To enable these settings, either unload the data (select the Unload scans command from the File menu) or restart Analysis Workbench with an empty workspace.

It is recommended that you check the load option settings before loading in data to the Analysis Workbench. This will save you having to unload data if a setting needs to be changed.

Loading and Saving Options

Load configurations can be saved to or loaded from a LoadOptions.ini file (the default file name is LoadOptions.ini) by using the Load and Save buttons available in every tab page of the Analysis Workbench Load Configuration dialog box.
