What you describe is the correct behavior.

Activating DSS in the ToDo List DSS tab enables the option in the Actions tab, in reports, in PortSim, & adds the button in the Focus List.

Then if you want DSS results, you must run the analysis & process DSS, regardless if the FL button is pushed or not.

My point is the button in PortSim does not produce any change when deactivated.

You do have to rerun the analysis in PortSim to see the difference, but it will only show a difference if DSS has been processed in Real Mode AND if the DSS results are different than the regular analysis results.

As far as I can tell, it is ALWAYS active if DSS is activated in the FocusList ToDoList DSS tab.

That is correct, but DSS still must be processed to use it. Activating it only enables the feature.

And by the way, the "Use DSS results" button is only available if DSS has been activated.

Right, there is no reason to have it there if it isn't activated.

So to be clear:

- Activating DSS in the ToDo List enables DSS in several locations within OT.

- DSS analysis must still be processed from the ToDo List if DSS results are to be seen.

- Pushing the DSS button at the top of the FL only switches between the regular analysis & the DSS analysis. DSS can be processed if the button is pushed in or not.
