File contains submenus for managing projects (project validation, open, save, retrieve, import and export, etc), for handling standard or project libraries, and to exit the OT.
- New Proposal: Create a new proposal for the standard submission deadline and scientific and technical review process.
- New DDT Proposal: Create a proposal for submission under the auspices of Director's Discretionary Time. This has no fixed deadline and can be submitted at any point during the observing period of the current cycle.
- New Program: Create a new Phase-2 program using Science Goals or Scheduling Blocks. Only available to privileged users.
- New Commissioning Program: Create a new Phase-2 program if you are working on commissioning in Chile. Such projects follow a different lifecycle than a standard PI-submitted one. Only available to privileged users.
- New VLBI Program: This will create a new Phase-2 program and any Science Goals added to this will be in VLBI format. If it is desired to copy a Science Goal from a Phase-1 proposal into a new Phase-2 program, this option must be used.
- Open Project: Open a project from the local disk or the ALMA Archive. There is also a project-finding tool, but this is of limited value and may not even work anymore.
- Open Project as New Proposal: The purpose of this is to allow a project that is in Phase 2 (possibly containing SBs) to be ``recycled'' as a new proposal. The new proposal will contain all the previous Phase-1 information (including Science Goals) whilst the Phase-2 information is removed. Even if the proposal being opened was DDT, it will be opened as a non-DDT proposal.
- Open Project as New DDT Proposal: This is similar to the previous option, but the project will be converted to a DDT proposal.
- Save: Save a project to the local disk by overwriting the previous version.
- Save As: Save a project to the local disk as a new file. The filename prefix must contain at least 3 characters.
- Show ALMA Template Library: Open the ALMA Template Library in a new Project tree window.
- Use Project as Template: Open an ALMA project (either from the local disk or the archive) and show it in read-only mode.
- Validate: Validate the project currently loaded in the OT.
- Submit Project: Submit the project to the ALMA Archive for validation and proposal review if appropriate.
- Submit Project As New: Submit the current project to the ALMA archive as a new project. The project will obtain a new project code and so should be used with caution. Only available to privileged users.
- Preferences: Set various appearance and behavioural preferences.
- Save Preferences: Save the preferences of the current session to disk. Whether this will prove useful is yet to be soon - I've never used it. What the OT does do is compare the current preferences to those saved at the end of a session and, if they'e changed, ask if you wish to overwrite them. This is really only useful for developers who are running multiple versions of the OT.
- Quit: Exit the OT.
