Using File menu

File menu is accessible on the first icon on the menu panel. This menu contains three kinds of options:

• Creating a new pipeline (two first options): options to start creating a pipeline.
• Load and save pipelines (two options in the middle): options to read and save the JSON files representing the pipeline.
• Generating code (last option): this option generates the Python code corresponding to the pipeline defined in the General Editor area.

Creating a new pipeline

• New Empty Pipeline: this option is for creating the pipeline from scratch.
• New Empty Pipeline from Template: this option allows to create a pipeline from a template. The pipeline from the template will be loaded into the General Editor area. The templates are JSON files representing common pipelines. The offered templates shown in the Select a template view are the ones defined in the file available_editors.json in the folder mls_code_generator_config/templates. Template JSON files are stored in the same folder.

Load and save pipelines

• Load Pipeline: a JSON pipeline file is selected from the file system to be loaded to the General Editor area.
• Save Pipeline: the pipeline represented in the General Editor area is saved in the corresponding JSON file.

Generating Code

• Generate Pipeline Code: A zip file is generated including the Python code corresponding to the pipeline defined in the General Editor area.
