In the Trend Scratchpad dialog you can modify the Trend Scratchpad report by selecting Trend Scratchpad dialog menu options or by right clicking on the report and selecting options:
This option allows you to select the observations of the object to be included in the trend data collection. A list of possible observations in the object is provided so you can select or deselect the items you want included in the Trend Scratchpad report.
This option allows you to select trend parameters (Series) for the observations of the object you want to project an analysis of. You can also select the Method and how far into the future (Unit) you want the projection created. In determining what Method to use, Logarithmic trending is more realistic where there’s a large change in values over short periods verses Linear.
This option allows you to take a snap shot of a certain time period or many time periods from the Trend Scratchpad report.
To add a time period snapshot to the Detail Graph snapshot
