Add a New Result Based on an Existing Result

If you need to annotate a result that is very similar to a previously annotated result, with only small changes, you may want to use the "Add a new result based on an existing result" option.

With this feature, you will select a previously annotated result, and the tool will copy the information from the chosen result into a new result annotation form with a unique result-ID. You will then only need to edit the information rather than reproduce it.

  1. Select "Add a new result based on an existing result."

  2. Your working data package folder will open automatically. Select the result upon which you want to base your new result annotation.

  3. The annotate result form will open and populate with the selected result information with a unique ID.

  4. Edit the form to reflect the differences in this new result. Save the form.

Batch Add Result(s) to Tracker

This feature allows you to manually add existing annotated results to the appropriate Result Tracker. You should not generally need to use this feature, but it is included to account for the possibility that an error in the saving process could cause your annotated result to be saved as a .txt file but not automatically added to the appropriate Result Tracker. In this case, you will be able to use the "Batch add existing result(s) to tracker" option to add these result(s) to the appropriate tracker.

  1. Ensure that none of your Results Trackers are open before attempting to batch add results.

  2. Navigate to the "Add Result" tab and select "Batch add existing result(s) to tracker" under "Advanced."

  3. Select the results that you want to add.

    1. It may be easiest to select all existing annotated result files when using this feature. The tool will scan the result files you select and only add those that are not already included in within the Results Tracker, so selecting a file that has already been included in the Results Tracker will not produce an error here.
    2. Note: These files follow the naming convention "result-trk-result-"

  4. If your files are successfully added to the appropriate Results Trackers, the User Status Message Box will provide a confirmation message:
