Due the number of formulae involved and the large amount of data managed, our model file needs to work in Manual Calculate mode,

We think there currently exist three Calculation Modes:

- 1) Automatic (with the Skip Option or Total option when start the mode, the Omniscope acts in automatic).
- 2) Recalculate all....
- 3) Recalculate only formula you have selected first....

...only the options 1 and 2 can avoid coherence problems of calculated data.

We prefer the first one, but only for select the Skip (saltar) option and then we need to deactivate the automatic calc. (for navigation and data entry problems), as it is a bit complex if you are making simulations, the user don't like so much the solution.

Could I suggest to create a new option. Manual option that use the Skip option only for one time and after the calcul process return to manual calcul mode?.

Also, we need a Warning that help the user to see in what Calcul mode is working, because the navigation and data entry times change dramatically between two mode settings.

Thanks for your attention.

Alfonso

In these models, the user has to interact frequently with the User Interface, changing variables and inserting values on grids or dataView. As the performance sometimes isn't enough fast to drive it with automatic calculi he has to disable and enable re-calculation of the formulas and refresh the calculi. However, currently access to this functionality from the menu is not 'user friendly':

Data>Formula>Calulate automatically. (enable/disable automatic calculi).
Data>Formula>Recalculate all (CTRL+SHIFT + R) (force all calculi).

My suggestion is to give this enable/disable or 'skip' functionality a Keyboard shortcut combination such as as (CRTL+ SHIFT +S ) for saving a file, for example.

This way, the user can select between two modes, either act and wait for all the calculi process with the time involved, using shortcut like (CTRL+SHIFT+R) , or wait only a few time to see the results of his action. We need it but I think is will also be useful for other people and projects.]]>
