How to Use the Collect Measures Pane

Briefly

Control how your Measures collection works in the Measures pane of its inspector.

To use a Measures Collection, you first need to make one. Then,

1. Double-click the measures collection to open its inspector.

2. Press the Collect Measures tab (Col…) to bring up the Collect Measures pane .

Then you can do any of the following…

  • Un-check Animation on to disable the flying-ball animation (and speed up the process)

  • Un-check Empty Collection First if you want the next measures you collect to add to the collection instead of replace it.

  • Check the Re-collect measures… box if you want to collect automatically when the source changes (generally, you don't)

  • Change the number in the number box if you want to collect many measures.

  • Select until and enter a formula in the box to define a more complex condition for collecting measures.

  • Press the Collect More Measures button to have the collection collect the measures from its source.
