Files

Lists all files in the job, sorted by most recently added.

To sort the list alphabetically, ascending or descending, click the column header.

Valid

This column shows whether an MF4 file is valid or corrupt.

A green check mark indicates a valid file, while a red cross indicates a corrupt one.

Signal source

Enables or disables a file or folder as a source for signal name autocompletion in operations such as Shift signals by time and Calculated signals.

  • When you select individual files, the first five files are automatically enabled as signal sources.

  • When you select a folder, no files are preselected as signal sources.

  • You can manually enable or disable any files or folders for signal autocompletion.

If a file has changed after the signals were loaded, deselect and reselect it to refresh the signal database.

Validate/Validate files

Validates all MF4 files in the folder.

A green check mark indicates a valid file, while a red cross indicates a corrupt one.

Single files are validated during upload.

When a filter is applied, only the visible (filtered) files are validated.

Repair invalid files (Best-effort repair of structural issues in MDF files)

Scans MDF files for structural issues and attempts a best-effort repair.

Unreadable or damaged sections may be removed to restore file integrity, which can lead to partial data loss.

It is recommended to repair a copy of the original file.

Behavior when executed in a job:

Repair only

If the Repair invalid files option is enabled and the job is executed without any additional operations, all input MDF files are scanned, files with structural issues are repaired, and the repaired versions are saved to the destination folder.

Repair before operations

If the Repair invalid files option is enabled and the job contains one or more operations, all input files are repaired first. After this repair step, the configured operations are applied to all resulting (initially valid and repaired) files.

This ensures that all subsequent processing is performed on structurally valid MDF files.

Remove

Removes the file from the job.

Refresh

Refreshes the folder. Updates changes made to the folder outside the application.
