### Save a scenario

Before proceeding to analyse the model results it is advisable to return to the beginning, the GREAT-ER menu, to save the scenario: select Save from the menu: all scenario settings and the model results will be saved in the scenario's directory. A dialog informs you of its successful completion.

The GREAT-ER user interface provides users with two options to save scenario data: save and save as.

#### Save

writes all data from the active scenario to the file system under the directory specified for the scenario, reports successful completion and lets you proceed with the active scenario.

#### Save As

works slightly differently. First you have to specify a new name for the scenario (scenarios are identified by their names, so unique names are recommended) and then you may edit the scenario comments.

Leaving with "OK", you have to specify a new scenario directory. The rules for this are the same as mentioned above and the directory will be created automatically.

A summary dialog will report successful completion and remind you of something very important: under GREAT-ER after Save As the active scenario stays the original one. If you intend to continue working on the previously saved scenario, you have to load it explicitly. This also means that the original scenario has to be closed in order to eliminate the current changes for it. If you select save for the scenario currently open, all earlier settings are overwritten.
