This General form is to provide the name and description of the Science Goal. Whilst the latter is optional, it is necessary that all SGs in a proposal have unique names. These can also be changed by right-clicking on a Science Goal in the Project Tree.
Also included is a checkbox that indicates whether the SG has been descoped by the proposal review process. Therefore, this can only even be checked in a Phase-2 SG. If it is checked, it will not be possible to generate SBs.
Privileged users can also define Expert Parameters. These work in the same way as those definable in the Scheduling Block and allow the SB generation to be changed from its default behaviour. The prototypical use case is the ability to use a keyword-pair that will cause TP SBs to use the TP Spectrometer during commissioning (this cannot be changed after SB generation). As with the SB parameters, it is foreseen that any Expert Parameter is a temporary measure before the default SB generation is changed to reflect the results from commissioning.
