CRT home > RbDe Web Service Tutorial: Navigating with the menu bar

The menu bar appears at the top of most pages of the web service and allows users to navigate between the different tasks in RbDe.

The Previous button brings the user back to the last page browsed and the Next button takes the user to the task most likely to be performed when you finish with the current task. Clicking on Next allows the user to go to the next step of the diagram customization process. The menu bar is dynamic and only displays the task that can be performed from a particular screen depending on where the user is in the process of customizing the diagram.

Saving a diagram in RbDe
If you are a registered user and wish to save your diagram, click on the "Diagram Library" button in the menu bar (available from all pages of the RbDe service). Click on the "Save the current diagram" link to go to the Save diagram page.

Three panels are shown on the "Save diagram" page. The first lists the diagrams already stored in the library, the second allows the user to update a diagram that was previously stored in the library and the third allows the user to save a diagram under a specific name. Use the third panel (shown) to save a diagram to the library with a new name (Use a name that is meaningful to you and possibly others since diagrams cannot be renamed). Type in a description for this diagram (the description should explain what this diagram shows according to you) and press Create diagram. This takes you to a page that acknowledges the storage of the diagram in the library available for latter consultation or customization.
[Note: Name and descriptions are cleared each time the browser window is resized. If you type a lot of text, please refrain yourself from resizing the window, use the scrollbars instead.]

Retrieving a saved diagram in RbDe
To return to an already saved diagram from the diagram library, select the Retrieve a diagram link from the diagram library to go to the Get diagram page containing the "Retrieve diagram from library" panel (shown).

This panel presents a list of the diagrams already stored in the library. A diagram appear as one line that describes the name of the diagram, when the diagram was first created, last modified, the owner of this diagram. The diagram that is currently being customized in the session is highlighted in bold. Select a diagram clicking on the button in the "get it" column and press "Get diagram" to retrieve the diagram you selected. A confirmation page is displayed and the diagram can now be further customized using the menu bar.

You can also use the menubar to view your sequence at any time using the View Sequence button, or to modify a diagram using the Secondary Structure button. Also, the diagram attributes button of the menubar allows registered users to change certain attributes of created or saved diagrams.
