Question

How to create a branch for handprinter?

Answer

Step 1: Create a page for branch

If the branch that you are working with already has a page, open the page for editing and go to step 2.


Open two copies of this page to your browser. Give a name to your branch and click to create a new page for it. On the other page, continue from step 2.

<createbox> break=yes width=50 buttonlabel=Create branch align=left </createbox>

Step 2: Fill in data about your branch

In step 2, you can create a new branch page or add more ovariables to an existing page. Fill in the form below, click to create content for the page, and copy-paste that onto the page you created in step 1.

Each branch is a model that consists of sub-models called ovariables. If you don´t know what they are, you should first read pages Ovariable and Modelling in Opasnet.

If you need more ovariables for your branch model, you can simply rerun this code. Just remember to copy-paste the previous content first, as it will be replaced by the new ovariables. Each ovariable has its own sub-heading under the heading "Rationale".

Do you want to create content for a new branch page?:

Do you want to create content for a new ovariable with data?:

Do you want to create content for a new ovariable with a formula?:

Content for a new branch page

What was the branch name again?:

What again is the name of the ovariable that is the final outcome of the branch?:

Content for a new ovariable with data

Give a short name (no spaces!) for an ovariable with data:

What is(are) the unit(s) of the data?:

Give a data table for the input variable.:

Cancel

Give free-text rationale about what the data ovariable is and where the data comes from.:

Content for a new ovariable with formula

Give a short name (no spaces!) to an ovariable with a formula.:

What are the input (parent or upstream) ovariables for this ovariable? Format c('var1', 'var2'):

What is the formula that defines the calculations with the parents?:

Give free-text rationale about what the outcome variable is and how it is calculated.:

+ Show code

Step 3. Finalize the page

In step 2, page content is compiled. You can rerun the step 2 code as many times as you need to define all the ovariables. Remember to copy-paste the outputs each time to the branch page.

In the end, you have to adjust the page content, because for security reasons some character combinations are not allowed in code output. In the text produced, there is a character "¤" where there should be "<". So, you should find and replace "¤" with "<" (use the button at the top-right corner of the edit window). Then you can save your page.
