Right-click menu and Options menu for a Multiple Data Table

When a Multiple Data Table is displayed, you can right-click anywhere in the table to access the commands listed below.  These commands are also available from the Options menu when a Multiple Data Table is displayed.

This command allows you to choose which Shared Traceability columns and retrieval group columns will be displayed on the Multiple Data Table.

This command allows you to change the settings used to retrieve data for the Multiple Data Table, such as the Count, Date Period, Filter, or measurement system applied to the data.

This command is not available if you used the Chart Designer to retrieve multiple date ranges or multiple filters.  It is also unavailable if you used Quick Chart or the Chart Wizard with analysis mode 2.

Note:  If you open a desktop containing a Multiple Data Table, do not change retrieval settings to view a different date range on any of these chart types.  Doing so will update your desktop to use this new date range for this chart.

If you want to view the data on your desktop by a different date range, first click the Desktop menu, click Save As, and save a copy of your desktop with a different name.  Then click the Options menu and click Change Retrieval Settings to change the date period.

This option allows you to automatically refresh the contents of the Multiple Data Table after a specified period of time has passed.

This option only functions correctly when you click a cell in a Data n, X-bar, Range, Sigma, or Moving Range column.  It allows you to edit the subgroup on which you clicked.

This screen allows you to make changes to the subgroup you clicked.
