Most interactions with PKS occur through the PKS Browser. The PKS Browser displays a list of studies in the system and their contents on the left. The table in the right panel allows sorting and searching of the studies. All study information on the left is available in the table on the right.
A study contains libraries, scenarios, and views. Selecting one of these “collection” nodes in the left panel will list the items in that collection in the right panel. Selecting one of the items in the list will display the properties for that item in the right panel. Selecting the study itself provides an opportunity to edit some of the study properties and post them to the system. The Custom Attributes tab lists any custom attributes that are defined for a study through the PKS Web Interface. Selecting a particular scenario displays several tabs of information: properties, custom attributes, dependencies (such as a study view, other scenario object, or global library), list of objects that are saved within the scenario.
The contents displayed in the PKS Browser are limited by the logged in user's security permissions and by any applied filters.
The PKS Browser also has a toolbar that allows performing several common PKS functions, including switching between library and study views, refreshing the browser contents, setting display options, filtering PKS contents, toggling study and object property displays, creating new scenarios, study views, and new study object, and editing, appending, and updating study data.
The PKS Browser includes the following capabilities:
Viewing Study and Study Object properties
Loading existing scenarios/creating new scenario versions
