Currently, when a user decides to view a subxbook (i.e., an archived xbook session), they choose the subxbook version in the menu box and click the 'View subxbook' button (see Figure 3.2). This will bring up the properties screen for that subxbook just as it did for the xbook (see Figure 3.4 for an example). The screen is similar to the xbook in that the user can can view the subxbook (i.e., run the subxbook) or view this subxbook's subxbooks. The difference is that the user can also view the output of the subxbook (i.e., the output of the xbook session) and there are some additional properties (e.g., date).
In the case the user decides to view the subxbook, it will display the xbook specific interface. If the xbook session was archived using one of the xbook archiving methods (see Section 2.3.0.2), the default values in any forms will be those chosen when the user executed this xbook (this facilitates the execution of similar jobs). When the user wants to view the output of the subxbook, the output that was returned to the user when they executed the xbook is fetched (see Figure 3.5 for an example). The output can contain links to data or can be a form that can be used, for example, to check the status of a job.
