Managing existing studies

Managing studies effectively helps you keep track of key project information and avoid unnecessary rework. Open, duplicate, archive, or delete studies to keep your workflow clear and your project space under control.

This guide explains how to use the Duplicate, Archive, and Delete features for studies.

Open an existing study

To open an existing study in your ACP Workspace:

1. Navigate to the Projects tab.

2. Open an existing project in one of two ways:

   • Click the project name.

   • Under the Actions column, click the Open button for the project you want to open.  

3. In the Project view of the selected project, open an existing study in one of two ways:

   • Click the study name.

   • Under the Actions column, click the Open button for the study.

This opens the Study view.

Duplicate a study

Duplicating a study creates a copy of the original in which all data, except the study name and color, are replicated. You can then create new or edit existing raceway routes within the duplicated study and generate a new solution, allowing you to quickly iterate studies and explore various conduit routes without needing to recreate the study from scratch. A study can be duplicated at any stage of the ACP workflow.

Follow the steps below:

1. From the Studies list within the Project view, hover over the ellipsis of the study to be duplicated under the Actions column.

2. Select Duplicate from the dropdown options.

3. In the Duplicate study pop-up, enter a Name for the duplicate.

4. Click the Duplicate button to create a copy of the study.

   • Or select Cancel to exit the pop-up.

Archive a study

Archiving a study preserves past work for future reference, but removes the study from the Active Studies table. A study can be archived at any stage of the ACP workflow.

Follow the steps below:

1. From the Studies list within the Project view, hover over the ellipsis of the study to be duplicated under the Actions column.

2. Select Archive from the dropdown options.

3. In the Archive study dialog box, select the Archive button.

   • Or select Cancel to exit the dialog box.

   

Restore an archived study

To restore a previously archived study:

1. In the Project view, click the Archived button to view all archived studies.

2. Under the Actions column, hover over the ellipsis for the archived study you want to restore.

3. Select Restore from the dropdown options.

4. In the Restore study dialog box, select the Restore button.

   • Or select Cancel to exit the window.

Delete a study

Deleting a study permanently removes it from ACP, helping users declutter their project by eliminating outdated or unnecessary studies.

Once a study has been deleted, it cannot be retrieved.

From the Studies table within the Project view, a study can be deleted at any stage of the ACP workflow.

Follow the steps below:

1. Under the Actions column, hover your mouse cursor over the ellipsis for the study to be deleted.

2. Select Delete from the dropdown options.

3. In the Delete Study dialog box, select the Delete Study button.

   • Or select Cancel to exit the dialog box.
