Project Deletion

A project may be deleted from the Partek Flow server using the  button on the upper right side of the Project View page (Figure 1).

Alternatively, you can also delete a project directly from the Home page by clicking the  button under the Actions column (Figure 2).

Selecting files for Deletion

After clicking the  button, a page displaying all the files associated with the project appears. Clicking the trianglewill expand the list. Select the files to be deleted from the server by clicking the corresponding checkboxes next to each file (Figure 3). By default, all output files generated by the project will be deleted.

 

If you wish to delete the input files associated with the project, you can do that as well by clicking the Input files checkbox. Note that a warning icon  appears next to input files that are used in other projects (Figure 4). These cannot be deleted until all projects associated with them are deleted.

Project Import and Export

Every project can be exported before it is removed from the server, so you can free up some server on your server, and import the project in to Partek Flow later on if needed. When you are an opened project, on the analysis page, click on the button to choose Export project option (Figure 1), or on the Partek Flow home page, click on the button under the Action column (Figure 2). 

When export a project, you will be asked whether to include library files to export, if choose Yes, the current version of library files used in the project will be archived, you can reproduce the result when you later import the project and re-do the analysis, however, it will make the archive size bigger. When choose No, library files will not be exported,  when later on import the project, you can only use the available version of needed library files to re-do the same analysis, the result might not be the same.

The project import option is under Projects drop-down menu on the top of Flow page (Figure 5).

The input of this option is zipped file format of the exported project. Browse to the file location which can be either on the Flow server, or local machine or an URL. The zip file first needs to be uploaded to the Flow server (if it is not on the server already), and then Flow will unpack the zip file into a project. The project name will be the same as the exported project name.
