# Recipe Manager Options

The Recipe Manager allows you to create new spreadsheet configurations (also known as "Recipes"), and to save, load, rename or delete existing recipes in the job. The dialog has the following options:

Button | Description
Add as New | Saves the contents of the spreadsheet into a new recipe. Use the New Configuration Name dialog to name the recipe.
Save as Selected | Saves the current contents of the spreadsheet into the recipe selected in the Recipe Manager dialog, overwriting it with the current contents of the spreadsheet. In this example, there are two configurations: No_Histogram, a recipe that does not extracts histogram from the acquired image, and Full_Inspection, a recipe that contains all Vision Tools configured for the job in the Spreadsheet Editor. In case the spreadsheet with the No_Histogram configuration gets updated, save the changes by selecting it in the Recipe Manager dialog, and then clicking Save as Selected. Note: Clicking the Save as Selected button immediately overwrites the selected configuration without confirmation.
Load Selected | Loads the recipe selected in the Recipe Manager dialog into the Spreadsheet Editor, immediately overwriting the contents of the spreadsheet. Note: Clicking the Load Selected button immediately overwrites the contents of the editor without confirmation.
Rename Selected | Allows you to rename the recipe selected in the Recipe Manager dialog. Use the New Configuration Name dialog to rename the selected recipe.
Delete Selected | Deletes the recipe selected in the Recipe Manager after confirmation.
Startup Mode | Specifies the recipe handling of the vision system when initializing a startup job following a device restart: Last Loaded Configuration: Loads the most recently used recipe. Tip: Use this setting if your startup job is running with a recipe, and you want to immediately load that recipe after a device restart (caused by, for example, a power outage). Load from Job: No recipe will be loaded. The system instead will initialize the startup job with the default job settings (that is the spreadsheet contents of the job).
