Registered Cache Management

This page enables you to manage your registered cache directory.

Cache contents table

The cache contents table lists the grids stored in your cache, showing the name, note, number of elements and constructs, and date, time and location of elicitation.

Clicking on the name open the grid for inspection and analysis.

The radio buttons in the first two columns may be used to select one grid as "A" and another as "B" for use in the lower section.

Cache controls

The bottom pane provides the means to control and use the cache.

The "Remove A" button removes the grid you have designated "A" (this button will not appear for unregistered caches).

The "Dowload A" button downloads the grid you have designated "A" in as a RepGrid Plus file named as specified with the extension ".rgrid".

The "Refresh table" button refreshes the page so that you can see if more grids have been cached.

Display, analyze or compare grids

The next row of four buttons lets you analyze stored grids.

The "Display A" button runs the Display analysis with the grid you have designated "A".

The "Cluster A" button runs the Focus Cluster analysis with the grid you have designated "A".

The "Map A" button runs the PrinGrid analysis with the grid you have designated "A".

The "Compare A-B" button runs the Compare analysis with the grids you have designated "A" and "B".

Create a derived grid which will be automatically cached

The next row of four buttons lets you create derived grids which will be automatically cached if this is a registered cache.

The "Copy A" button creates a copy of the grid you have designated "A".

The "Exchange A" button creates a copy of the grid you have designated "A" with all the ratings set open.

The "Elements A" button creates a copy of the grid you have designated "A" containing only the elements.

The "Constructs A" button creates a copy of the grid you have designated "A" containing only the constructs.

Issuing URL's for derived grids

As the intention is that you be able to issue the URL's for the derived grids to those from whom you wish to collect data, the grids are not cached when you create them but only after each further use of them.

Hence you may copy the URL's that will be shown in your browser and then close the derived grid without using it.

Commands

The "Commands" text box allows you to enter a string of commands that will be executed when the user starts to use the grid.

See Section 2.9 of the WebServe manual for details of possible commands.

If you do not enter a command string then WebGrid issues the following default commands:-

You can see these command strings at the end of the URL after "??" and change them if you wish.

Commands

The "Path" text box allows you to enter a script path for your alternative scripts, if any.

Upload

The "Choose File" button at the bottom left enaables you to uload a grid file to your cache. The file may be from Rep Plus, WeBgrid Plus HTML, or in many other formats from earlier versions of these programs or from other grid elicitation and analysis programs.

ALWAYS SAVE YOUR CACHE DATA LOCALLY

We do not backup your cache and take no responsibility or liability for it.
