The Global panel controls global model parameters that are accessed by several different panels.  These parameters remain constant until changed.  It also controls which components or collectors are active.  Any entities you create are stored in the active collectors.  Finally, you can use this panel to specify which template file you want to use.  (Template files must first be created.)                        

Note:Template and results files can be loaded from the Standard toolbar, while various collectors can be made current by selecting them in the Model browser and picking make current from the right-click context menu.  These are now the preferred methods of making such settings.
