1. Overview
The Annual Descriptive Statistics feature allows users to compare a single result across multiple runs. The recent update introduces a checkbox tree control to simplify the selection of top-level runs and sub-runs, making it easier to handle larger datasets or complex replicate analysis jobs.
2. Generating Annual Descriptive Statistics
To generate Annual Descriptive Statistics, follow these steps:
- Right-click on a result in the tree menu.

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.
