Creating a project

Creating a New Project

The Project List is the normal place to start a SAGMILLING.COM circuit modelling session. Below the list of all existing projects is a link to Enter New Result. Click that link and a space for a new project will be opened below the last project in this listing.

Project Listing

Entering a new project into the Project Listing

Enter the new project's information into the row yellow cells. Some of the information from that last project will be cloned into the new one, just in case it can be duplicated — blank out or replace information that isn't appropriate and then click Create. The page will refresh and the new project will be added to the Project List. Note that the list is normally sorted alphabetically, so the new project may not show up if the list has not scrolled to the position where the new project fits into the alphabetic ordering.

Mandatory fields

• Name is the project name. This name should be unique (it is confusing to have two projects with the same name).
• Folder sets the model type you want to run and organizes a query appropriate for that model. Note that some users have special hard-coded folders that run non-standard queries.

Optional fields

• Number: If your organization assigns project numbers to separate projects, you may enter that number here for cosmetic purposes (adds the project number to some output pages).
• Client allows an optional client name to be attached to a project.
• F80 allows the default circuit feed size (in µm) to be specified. This is the default F₈₀ that will appear when a new circuit is created.
• P80 allows the default circuit product size (in µm) to be specified. This is the default P₈₀ that will appear when a new circuit is created.
• Avail allows the default circuit availability to be specified. Availability is entered as a decimal, so 90% availability would be entered as 0.90 and 93% as 0.93.
• Lic Expires and Lic Type are optional fields that allow you to track licensing dates and types. Lic Expires should be entered as a date in YYYY-MM-DD format and Lic Type is an integer value.
