Session Files
What is saved
A session file that saves the canvas state (plain JSON, saved as
*-session.json) captures how the data is being viewed, not the data
itself. It persists:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Canvas layout | Which widgets are placed, their positions/sizes, z-order, pan/zoom, and panel state. |
| Per-widget settings | Every user-adjustable knob of every placed widget (selected axes/columns, cluster count, MCDM weights, histogram bin rule, normalization and log-scale toggles, feasibility filters, 3D camera poses, …). |
| Global view settings | Colormap, filter ranges, pinned trials, hypervolume reference point, convergence indicator, help language. |
The optimization data (journal / SQLite / CSV) and the results computed from it are not stored. Because no data is stored, a session can also be applied when you load a different optimization result.
Where to save and load
- Save Session / Load Session toolbar buttons: save the current dashboard to a session JSON file, or restore one while keeping the currently loaded data.
