Adding a user-defined record to current data table

Add a custom record to the current data table.

To add a user-defined record to the current data table:
  1. Right-click a chart or the results list, and select Add Record.
  2. Enter (optional) information on the record, such as record color and notes.
  3. Enter the property values as required.

    This dialog only displays properties currently used in the selection project; a full list of properties is available to edit when you edit a record.

    Note: User-defined records are saved in the project file. They are not available outside of the selection project, and can only be compared with records within the same data table.

    The attributes available to include in a user-defined record are set by the data table and the selection attribute layout. If you wish to add an attribute and it is not initially available, try creating the record and then editing it to find the required attribute.

    The maximum number of user-defined records is 250.

    For range data, if you enter a minimum value greater than the maximum value, then this will be marked as estimated data on the datasheet.

    For attributes which can not physically be negative (such as composition percentages), the values entered must be zero or above. If you enter any negative values, the data for that attribute will be incorrect.

    When you duplicate a record from a chart data label, all of the record data is copied, even though not all attributes are listed in the dialog.
