Okay. You've created a whole bunch of ground control sets. You've set up these
rule sets that work in your workflow. Now, you want to make sure that you
archive the sets and back them up.
And we have a mechanism for you to do that here in FlightCheck.
So, let's take a look in the Ground Controls again at a little pop-up window
here.
We're going to work with two items in the menu this time:
Import and Export Ground Controls.
Export allows me to save them out as a set. Import allows me to bring them
back in.
So, let's start by exporting Ground Controls.
It's going to pop a window up and say, "Hey, what do you want to call them?"
So, I'll call them "My Ground Controls".
And "Where do you want to save them?" I'll throw them on the desktop.
So, all that saving is going to take a couple of seconds. The file that's going to be
brought up here is an XML file. This file you can archive or
share with other FlightCheck users.
This is really a backup of your Ground Controls -
kind of important,
because if you invest a lot of time and work in it, you don't want to have to go
back and recreate these from scratch.
I'm going to do a Command-I, so you can see that this file is not very big.
It's just a small XML file,
and it's under 28k in this particular... in this particular case.
So, now let's go ahead and we're going to go ahead and clean out the three
Ground Control sets
that we have in here right now.
So, we're going to go ahead and delete MySet02 and MySet will be left with
the default set.
So, we're at MySet02 right now. I'm going to have that highlighted. I'm going to come up here
and go Delete.
You notice that nothing happens. That's because the set's locked.
If I unlock it, hey,
I need know the password.
So, we'll put the password in and it's now unlocked.
Let's go ahead and delete that.
Are you sure you want to do that? Yes.
And we'll let that delete
and you can see we're down to two sets right here.
Let's switch over to my set.
Again, this one isn't password-protected, but it is locked.
So, if I try to delete it,
nothing happens, until I actually unlock the set.
I can go ahead and delete that,
and we're left here with just one Ground Control set.
So, let's import the set that we just exported right here on the desktop.
We have FlightCheck in a second here to bring that in.
And we'll bring up the menu here, so you can see what's going on.
What you can note... What you'll notice is we now have three new Ground Control sets.
We have our default set. We have three new sets that all have this format of
some name with an @ sign and then another name on the right.
The name on the left is the Ground Control set name and FlightCheck.
The name on the right of the @ sign is the name of the file that you save them into.
It saves all of the Ground Control sets currently into a single XML file.
So, I'm going to go ahead and show you there's a flag in here.
This @ sign's really a flag. If we didn't allow you to delete
locked, password-protected, imported sets, this list would stretch on forever
eventually,
but, in this case, you'll remember that MySet02,
I had to go and click on the lock
to unlock it, and then had to put the password in. I couldn't delete it.
I can do that here,
because it's an imported set.
Are you sure you want to delete that? Yes.
So, I'll go ahead and delete that.
We're down to three sets now. Let's delete MySet.
We'll switch over to that
and we'll delete that set.
Then, we're going to delete the copy of
the default set that was imported, as well.
And we're right back where... where we started from.
So, we're back to our default set.
It is unlocked, and again I can import the Ground Control set,
and at this point, and when that comes in, we'll go ahead and
switch over to MYSet02,
which you'll remember is locked and password-protected, so it's asking me to
enter the password
on my imported set.
Now, I can go ahead and edit away on that set.
