Selecting the measures (columns) shown on the Data page

In brief

To alter the measures (i.e. columns) which are included in the spreadsheet:

Click the

Select data button in the Actions section of the ribbon bar - this will cause the 'Data settings' page to be shown.

At the top of this page is a large list containing all the experiment's measures - you should check the measures you want included.

Details

You can use the measures list to choose which measures you would like to include on the Data page. As the list can potentially contain hundreds of measures, ANY-maze shows them in groups.

To open a group, simply click it with the mouse - the list will expand to show the group's measures. To close an open group, just click its title.

To actually choose an individual measure to show, click on the measure's name - a small tick will be shown in the box next to it. To exclude a measure, click it again - the tick will go away.

If you right click in the measures list, a menu containing some or all of the following options will appear:

Details about this measure

Only available if you click on a specific measure. Displays a comprehensive help topic about the measure, including information about how it is calculated.

Select all

There are potentially three 'Select all' options (exactly how many you'll see depends on what you click on in the measure list). One option selects all of the measures in the entire list, the others select all the measures in the current measure group or subgroup. Although the option to select all measures might appear to provide an easy way to view all the of analysis (and it is), you should be aware that it will usually create a very large report.

Deselect all

There are potentially three 'Deselect all' options (exactly how many you'll see depends on what you click on in the measure list). One deselects all the measures in the entire list - which is useful if you just want to reset the list and start over selecting the measures to include - the others deselect all the measures in the current measure group or subgroup.

Expand all

There are potentially two 'Expand all' options: One opens all of the groups so you can see all the measures that are available, the other opens all the subgroups in the current measure group.

Collapse all

There are potentially two 'Collapse all' options: One closes all of the groups making the list shorter and easier to work with, the other closes all the subgroups in the current measure group.

If you want to select a block of items within the same group then you can use a 'shift-click' as follows: Click the first item you want to select, then hold down the shift key on the keyboard and click the last item you want to select. All the items from the first to the last (inclusive) will change to the same state as the LAST item now has. This works whether you're selecting or deselecting items - all the items simply change to have the same state as the LAST item you click.

Once you've selected the measures you'd like included in the spreadsheet, click the View spreadsheet button in the Actions section of the ribbon bar. The spreadsheet will reappear, showing only the columns you selected.

Note that the Test column, which shows a test's number, is always included as the first column of the spreadsheet - you can't remove it.
