Analysis of Profiles


The Analysis window or search criteria window is where you specify the questions you want to ask in TPA. . It contains drop-down lists of questions , and buttons so that you can choose which logical combinations of questions you want to ask. It also allows you to restrict the part of the commodity database you want to search to a range of days. Furthermore, you may save the question, before you actually ask it by pressing OK, as a custom question .

Profile Analyzer Hint: The logical operators between rows are interpreted from top to bottom, i.e., "row1 and row 2 or row 3" will be interpreted as "(row1 and row2) or row3."

Profile Analyzer Hint: If you need to ask a question that has more than 6 sub-questions you should either a) ask parts of it and then choose Refine in the Search Results window or b) save parts of it as one or more Custom Questions , and then ask those questions.
