DefineRangeHistogram Task

The DefineRangeHistogram task is used to add and edit arguments for the DefineRangeHistogram command used in a logic template. Performing a DefineRangeHistogram task consists of the following steps:

Step 1

The first step is to initiate the task by either selecting the Range Histogram task in the CATEGORIES task bar along the left side of the Logic Template editor or by double-clicking on the DefineRangeHistogram command name in the logic template if a DefineRangeHistogram already exists. If the Range Histogram task is not enabled, be sure there is at least one range index defined in the related load definition file for this logic template.

The DefineRangeHistogram dialog box will appear:

Step 2

The second step is to select the Index for the command:

The Index drop-down list will contain only range indexes defined in the related load definition file.

Use the Index drop-down list to select the range index to be searched.

Step 3

The third step is to specify the Base Value Order for the command:

Select the Ascending radio button to sort the categories returned in ascending order.

Select the Descending radio button to sort the categories returned in descending order.

Select the HTML Variable radio button to specify an HTML variable to dynamically set the order according to the value of the HTML variable. If the HTML variable evaluates to a plus sign (+) the categories will be sorted in ascending order. If the HTML variable evaluates to a minus sign (-) the categories will be sorted in descending order.

The HTML Variable can also contain the list of categories in the display order.

Step 4

The fourth step is to specify the Return Items for the command:

Select the All radio button to return all the results for each category.

Select the Count radio button to specify the maximum number of results to be returned for each category.

Select the HTML Variable radio button to specify an HTML variable to dynamically set the maximum number of items to be returned for each category dependant on the value the HTML variable evaluates to.

Step 5

The fifth step is to click the OK button to insert the command into the logic template:

The command is inserted into the logic template where the cursor is located. If the task was initiated by double-clicking on the command name, then the arguments that are changed will be overwritten.
