3. Updated Interface Overview

The new Annual Descriptive Statistics interface consists of three main sections:

• Upper Left Pane: Displays the overall statistical data for the selected run(s).
• Upper Right Pane: This pane now features a checkbox tree control that allows users to select or deselect both top-level runs and sub-runs within a Replicate Analysis job.
• Bottom Pane: Shows the resulting statistical data on an annual basis for the selected runs.

4. Selecting Runs Using the New Checkbox Tree Control

The major update is the introduction of a checkbox tree control in the Upper Right Pane. This control allows for more intuitive navigation and selection when dealing with multiple runs and sub-runs.

• Checkbox Tree Structure: The tree expands to show both top-level runs and their associated sub-runs, making it easier to select the exact runs you want to analyze.
• Select/Deselect Runs: Use the checkboxes to select or deselect specific runs or sub-runs.
• Search Bar: The search bar at the top of the pane allows users to quickly find particular runs or sub-runs by typing part of their name.
• Quick Select Options:
  • Select None: Deselects all the runs in the tree.
  • Select All Unique Runs: Automatically selects all unique runs, eliminating the need to select them one by one manually.
