Taking a Snapshot

Taking a Snapshot

rubiscape provides a facility to take snapshots of the workbook canvas. A snapshot is a backup of the configuration of the workbook at a given point in time which can be saved and restored later as required. It is used for version control, so you can roll back to any instance of your algorithm design.

Notes:

  • Snapshots can be saved with or without the algorithm result.
  • Snapshot name is system generated. You can enter a description for your snapshot.
  • Snapshots are workbook specific. You can restore snapshots saved within the same workbook.

To take a snapshot, follow the steps given below.

  1. Create a new Workbook or Workflow. Refer to Creating a Workbook or Creating a Workflow.

    (info) Note: 

    To store the result of the algorithm along with your snapshot, select the Include Result check box. This check box is clear by default.
