Use a Sandbox¶

A Sandbox is a saved, named set of Attitudes from any Programmes and Projects in the Account, shown together in the Results table. Use one to compare results across Projects, or to tell a development story that cuts across how your data is organised.

Create a Sandbox¶

1. On the Table View card, click the + icon next to Sandbox. Create Sandbox opens.
2. Under Details:
   • Enter a Name (required). It must be unique among the Sandboxes you can see ("This name is already in use"), up to 100 characters.
   • Optionally choose a Table Setup: the table View to load with the Sandbox. Without one, the table keeps whichever View is loaded.
3. Under Sharing Options, choose who else can see it (see share a Sandbox).
4. Under Choose Attitudes, pick a Programme: and Project:. They start as the current ones.
5. Optionally click Show filtering options to narrow the list with a Smart Filter, then click Apply Filters. A filter already applied on the Results page is used to start with.
6. Pick Attitudes in the Attitudes: list, or use Select All. They're added to Selected Attitudes.
7. To add Attitudes from other Projects or Programmes, change Programme: or Project: and pick more.
8. Check Selected Attitudes. Remove any you don't want with their X.
9. Click Create New Sandbox.

A Sandbox needs at least one Attitude ("No Attitudes Selected - Select at least 1"). Bramble loads the new Sandbox straight away.

Closing the Sandbox dialog clears any Smart Filter applied on the Results page.

Load a Sandbox¶

1. Click Sandbox. Load Sandbox lists the Sandboxes you can see, with Name, Created By, Created and Last Updated. Use Search to find one by name or creator.
2. Click a Sandbox to load it.

The heading changes to "Sandbox - <name>", and a Sandbox Comment card appears. Loading a Sandbox also clears a Load By Date range.

To go back to the Project's results, click the red X next to Sandbox.

With a Sandbox loaded, the table works as usual: you can change the View, set a delta baseline, plot graphs, open the postpro viewer and export. Rows from other Projects show the current Project's custom calculations.

Edit, view or copy a Sandbox¶

With a Sandbox loaded, the icons next to Sandbox are:

Only the creator can edit or delete a Sandbox. Anyone else who can see it can copy it and change their copy.

Add a comment¶

The Sandbox Comment card shows a note about the Sandbox, for example what it compares and why.

1. Load the Sandbox. You must have created it.
2. On the Sandbox Comment card, click Update Comment.
3. Enter the comment, up to 1,000 characters.
4. Click Confirm.

Share a Sandbox¶

A Sandbox is private to you unless you share it:

• Share with other users of your account: everyone in the Account can see it.
• Share with partner accounts: only shown if your Account has partner Accounts. Tick each partner to share with. When you create the Sandbox, Bramble asks you to confirm, because Users in those Accounts will be able to see the CFD results and post-processing.

Load Sandbox lists your own Sandboxes, those shared with your Account, and those shared with it by partner Accounts.

Export a Sandbox to CSV¶

With the Sandbox loaded, click Export Data → Download CSV. The file contains the Sandbox rows and is named after the Sandbox. See export results.

Delete a Sandbox¶

1. Click Sandbox.
2. Click the delete icon on the Sandbox's row. It's only shown for Sandboxes you created.
3. In Delete Sandbox, click Confirm.

A table View used as a Sandbox's Table Setup can't be deleted while the Sandbox uses it.
