Menu Bar

File
New

creates a new empty model selection list.

Open

opens a dialog for selecting one or more existing model selection lists to open. If you select multiple lists, they are all opened at once as a concatenated list. This helps you build large specialized model lists quickly by mixing and matching various existing lists such as the various ARIMA model lists included in SASHELP.FORCAST. By default, the lists you open replace the current model list. Select the append radio button if you want to append them to the current model list.

Open System Default

opens the default model list supplied with the product.

Cancel

exits the window without applying any changes to the current project’s model selection list.

Close

closes the window and applies any changes made to the project’s model selection list.

Save

opens a dialog for saving the edited model selection list in a catalog of your choice.

Save as User Default

saves your edited model list as a default list for new projects. The location of this saved list is shown on the message line. When you create new projects, the system searches for this model list and uses it if it is found. If it is not found, the system uses the original default model list supplied with the product.

Edit
Reset

restores the list to its initial state when the window was invoked.

Add Model

enables you to add new models to the selection list. You can use the Smoothing Model Specification window, the ARIMA Model Specification window, the Factored ARIMA Model Specification window, or the Custom Model Specification window.

Edit Selected

opens the appropriate model specification window for changing the attributes of the highlighted model and adding the modified model to the selection list. The original model is not deleted.

Move Selected

enables you to reorder the models in the list. Select one or more models, then select Move Selected from the menu or toolbar. A note appears on the message line: Select the row after which the selected models are to be moved. Then select any unhighlighted row in the table. The selected models will be moved after this row.

Delete

deletes any highlighted models from the list. This item is not available if no models are selected.

Set Regressor Names

opens a dialog for changing all occurrences of a given regressor name in the models of the current model selection list to a name that you specify.

Select All

selects all models in the list.

Clear Selections

deselects all models in the list.

Select All for Autofit

checks the autofit check boxes of all models in the list.
