Selection Settings

Change how Granta Selector treats generic records and records with missing or estimated data values during the selection process.

Click Settings and go to the Selection tab to change settings for record selection.

By default, records will:

  • Fail a selection stage if they do not have a data value for a selection attribute.
  • Pass a selection stage if a data value for a selection attribute is estimated.
  • Fail a selection stage if they are generic (folder-level) records.
Tip: Selection attributes are the material properties plotted on the X- or Y-Axis of a Chart Stage, or which have criteria applied to them in a Limit Stage.

On the Selection tab:

  • To pass records which have no data (listed on the datasheet as 'Not Applicable'), select the Pass records with no data check box.
  • To fail records with an estimated data value, select the Fail estimated records check box.
  • To include generic records in selection results, select the Include generic records check box.
    Note: If the value of a functional attribute is 'Out Of Range', then it is treated as 'Not Applicable' and the Pass records with no data setting applies. The listed value of functional attributes depends on the Project parameters.

    Records that pass selection with no data are indicated in the selection results by a warning triangle . Hover over the record to see which attributes are missing data.
