Selecting the measures to analyse in a graph report

In brief

You should use the list of measures shown at the top of the Graph report settings page to choose those that you want to include in the report. The measures are shown in groups, and you should click a group's title to open it so you can select the measures inside. You can choose as many measures as you like - each one will be analysed separately in the report, i.e. it will appear as a separate graph (or graphs).

Details

A graph report will show a graph (or perhaps graphs) of each of the measures you select, in the order in which they appear in the measures list.

To select a measure in the list, first click the title of its group, for example Apparatus measures, and then check the box next to the measure's name, for example Test duration - see figure 1.

  

  

Figure 1. Measures are organised into groups - clicking a title opens the relevant group.

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

Details about this measureOnly available if you click on a specific measure. Displays a comprehensive help topic about the measure, including information about how it is calculated.
Select allThere 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 allThere 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 allThere 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 allThere 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.

  

The Clear report settings button in the ribbon bar can be used to reset all the report settings back to their defaults, which includes removing all selections from the list of measures.
