There is a dedicated tool: the “Shelves Manager”, to create and edit the shelves. This application has a direct connection to the “Commands Manager” and you can populate the shelves simply by dragging and dropping elements from the “Commands Manager” to a shelf.

 

Drag and Drop Actions

...

Drag and drop is possible from

 

  • the “Commands Manager” to the “Shelves Manager”, and the GUI's shelves.
  • the “Shelves Manager” to the GUI's shelfs.
  • external files to the GUI's shelves. This action creates file reference commands. Allowed extensions are: PY, RFS, RFG, and XML.
  • plain text can be dragged to the GUI's shelves. If the text appears to be XML RealFlow creates a new “Embedded Graph” command and displays the an "[ Edit Edit Command ]" dialog. Otherwise, it will create an “Embedded Script”, independent from the contained text type. This process is similar to clicking on "Add new Embedded Graph/Script".

Missing Commands

From time to time commands are removed from the “Commands Manager's” list. In such a case, the command is no longer available, but if it was part of a shelf then there is still a reference. RealFlow will tag these missing commands with a warning symbol. This way you will recognize immediately which element cannot be executed. Once you have reloaded a missing command, RealFlow's shelves will be updated and you can use the command again.
