File Menu for the Monitor Window

The File menu for the Simon Monitor window contains commands to perform actions on tests:

New Test

This function displays the New Test window, described elsewhere.

Duplicate Test

This function displays the New Test window using values from the selected test as a starting point.

Edit Test

This function displays the Edit Test window, described elsewhere.

Delete Test

This function displays the Delete Test confirmation sheet, described elsewhere.

Save

This command changes to reflect the currently selected log view. It saves the current log information to a tab-delimited text file. It saves just the selected lines if there are at least two selected, otherwise all lines. (Note that you can also copy selected lines, too.)

Check Now

In the Simon Monitor window, this command will cause Simon to immediately check the selected test(s), rather that waiting for when it is next due. The next check time will be reset based on the time the check is started. You can use this to alter the check time relative to other tests, if you wish. If no tests are selected, then all tests are checked at once, but the next check time is not reset. In the Source window and Preview window, it causes the current page to be re-fetched from the server and redrawn.

Reload Cached

This is only used for the Source window and Preview windows. It loads the page again from the cache, i.e. without fetching it from the server. It causes the page to be redrawn and any images to be loaded and rendered again.

Show Source

This command opens a new Source window for the selected test. See the description of that window for more information.

Preview

This function displays a new Preview window for the selected test; again, see the description elsewhere.

Visit Site

This command will open your default web browser with the URL of the selected test. This is particularly useful if Simon informs you that the site has changed, so you can see the changes.

Reset Stats

This function displays the Reset Stats confirmation sheet, described elsewhere.

Pause Test

This function displays the Pause Test sheet, described elsewhere.
