Guide to the Analytics Eclipse View

Buttons

As it can be seen on the left hand side of the above image, the analytics view contains options for displaying, creating, editing, duplicating and deleting charts. Most of these options are not available until a chart is selected on the right hand side list.

Pressing the Display Chart button will perform the selected chart's query on the loaded data and display the defined chart graphic in an Eclipse editor. The user may also double click on a chart in the list or press the enter/return key to do this.

Pressing the New Chart button will open the chart wizard for creating a new chart (which will be explained later). This is the only button that is available when no chart from the list is selected.

Pressing the Edit Chart button will open the chart wizard much like the New Chart button, but will populate the wizard settings with the selected chart's specifications.

Pressing the Duplicate Chart button will make a duplicate chart with the same settings as the selected chart with an appended number in its name. This is useful for making a copy of an existing chart and then slightly altering its settings.

Pressing the Delete Chart button will prompt the user for a confirmation before deleting the selected chart.

Chart List

The chart list contains all of the available charts to the user. Each chart name must be unique from the others and also be a valid system file name (they are saved in XML format with the same name). Each chart will also have their type appended to their name in parenthesis, e.g. a pie chart has (Pie Chart) appended to it.

Notes that the contents of this list are the same as the contents of the drill down dialog list shown later.
