Method Editor app features

The Alliance iS Method Editor app launches from Empower and maintains the same language selection. Each Alliance iS system appears as a single instrument within the app.

Icon	Description	Functionality
	App menu	Displays the About and Export to JSON options: Selecting About displays general information about the app. Selecting Export to JSON allows you to export the current method to a .json file that you can email for remote support and troubleshooting. To close this list of options, click "X".
	Search field	Use by typing the first few letters of what you are looking for (for example, typing "temp" brings you to temperature-related information). To clear this field, click "X".
	Notifications	A red badge appearing on this icon alerts you to issues the system is experiencing during the analysis using the current method. The number displayed inside the red badge corresponds to the number of issues detected by the system. Issues are tracked when invalid or incompatible parameters exist in the method. All issues must be resolved before the method is considered valid.

The app's navigation panel, on the left-hand side of the home view, contains various high-level options for navigating to targeted information about the system being used by the app. Clicking any of these populates the middle panel with a list of associated options to choose from. Clicking any of these populates the right-hand panel with a details view displaying further information, options to choose from, or specific settings you can modify depending on the middle panel option selected for the particular navigation panel view. The following table lists and describes the navigation panel options (in the order in which their icons are contained, from top to bottom in the panel).
