ISAAP keeps record of all the
Pareto-optimal solutions and the
corresponding aspiration and reservation levels.
The history of all solutions can be examined in the form of
a spreadsheet
(see Figure 36 for the illustration) that
can be displayed by the History item from the ISAAP menu.
The records are arranged in the following way:
- First, M solutions that are displayed in the main ISAAP
windows. The number M is set by ISAAP to be equal to 10, but
this value can be changed by the user
(by changing the field labeled as dn in the dialog shown
in Figure 47, page
).
Each solution has a sequence number that is set by ISAAP and a label.
The sequence numbers can not be changed, but the user can change
the labels of the displayed solutions.
Both the labels and the number of displayed solutions M
can be changed by the dialog activated by the Setup
item from the History menu of ISAAP.
- Second, all the solutions that are currently not displayed
in the ISAAP main window, sorted by their sequence numbers.
The selected M solutions are displayed in the main ISAAP
window (see e.g. Figure 41 for the illustration).
The previous solutions that belong to the set of displayed
solutions are marked by small squares with the
labels (the default labels shown in Figure 36 can
be changed as described above).
If the last but one solution does not belong to this set, then
it is marked by a small green circle.
The last solution is always marked by a white circle without
a label and it is connected with the previous solution by a thin line.
Solutions can be added to or removed from the set of displayed solutions
by clicking on the corresponding label (see Section 5.4.3
for details).
The last solution is automatically added to the displayed solutions,
as long as there are empty slots in the set of displayed solutions.
The user is asked to rearrange the set of displayed solutions,
once this set is full.
The last (rightmost) field in the solution spreadsheet provides space
for the user comment or notes related to a corresponding solution.
