Scenario Editor

From Sahi Pro V5.1, a web based UI for creating scenarios is available. It is a user-friendly, easy and interactive user interface for running and developing Sahi scripts which are in .xls, .xlsx or .s.csv format. It uses most of the shortcuts available in Microsoft Excel.

Sahi understands csv files with .s.csv extension as a scenario file (eg. sample.s.csv).

warning This application is not supported on IE versions lower than IE10.

Key features

  • loadSahi

    loadSahi loads a .sah file. All of the functions defined in the .sah file get dynamically added. They can all be seen in the autocomplete dropdown.

  • Detail box

    The UI contains a button on the top of the editor called "Function Details". Selecting a cell and clicking this button gives details of the selected function and its arguments. This gives a basic idea as to what the type and number of arguments are.

    • Red colored notification

    The SpreadSheet UI notifies the user about mistakes by marking problematic cells in red color.

    If the path or name of the file specified in loadSahi is wrong, it gets shown in red. If the user adds a wrong function, i.e. a function that is not defined in the included files, or if he makes a mistake with the function name, the name appears in red. Only if the function is defined in the file included through 'loadSahi', does it appear in black. If the number of arguments added in the UI for a function is more than the number of arguments in the function definition, the extra arguments are shown in red.
