A

Region

Select or create a new region using the standard Tracker region controls.

Up

B

Attribute

Select the attribute you want to operate on.

Up

C

Operator

The currently defined operators are:

Count operators

These operators will perform a count of attribute data matching the user specified value.

Equals (=)

Not Equals (!=)

Greater Than (>)

Greater Than Equal To (>=)

Less Than (<)

Less Than Equal To (<=)

Less Than Equal To (<=)

Exists (%)

Contains ($)

Between (@)

Not Between (!@)

Display operators

A special operator that will simply copy the specified attribute for each item in the region to an array point.

Display (*=)

Up

D

Value

Value entries depend upon the selected operator.

Count operators

Count up all attributes that meet the operator defined criteria.

Display operators

The value is not used.

Up

E

Compare Type

Compare Type entries depend on the selected operator.

Count operators

The attribute value and the user value will be converted to this type and then the operator comparison will be performed.

Display operators

This field is not used.

Up

F

Display Point

Display point entries depend on the selected operator.

Count operators

The Point may be numeric or text.

The total of all items in the region matching the operator criteria will be entered into this field.

Display operators

This must be an array point. The point may be numeric or text.

The data will be converted to match the point type. Each element in the array will represent a location in the region.

The Item Class ID defined for this graphic display record will control filling of the array.

If an Item Class is specified, the array will be filled front to back, starting at the first location, moving back to the last location or until the array limits are exceeded. There will be no holes in the array for empty locations. So if the user specified an item class of XXX and location 1, 2, 3, 5 each has had Item Type class, the array locations 1,2,3,4, will be filled. There will not be a blank location for location 4.

If no Item Class is specified there will be one array location for each region location. If each region can hold 2 items and there are 4 locations in the region then the array would look like this:

 

Array

Note: If a location only contains 1 item, the array will contain an empty element for the missing location.
