Friends, I am working with more than 1 study collection (Study Collections: Adding a Study Collection Without Clearing Existing Studies On The Chart (Prompt to Remove Existing Studies)). Each study collection will likely have up to 100 study ids (i.e. indicators) in it--and of those study ids, some reference each other in a "color bar or background alert" study: (i.e. ID10.SG1 =1, where ID10 = color background that tests ID 7.SG1 for a specific value). Therefore, this study collection intrinsically requires the EXACT order of ID7, ID10 to be exactly the same studies on each chart that the collection is placed. When I "Adding a Study Collection Without Clearing Existing Studies" (yes, I want to combine several study collections --each one having its own internal Study ID dependencies) the Study ID 7 and 10 are already taken by an existing study...so new numbers are assigned...and I have to go back into the Color Bar and Color Background Alert conditions and *manually* change the ID7 to the new ID number generated by SC after I used the add without clearing feature. However, if I force the Study ID of a *new* collection to start at ID200...this will never be an issue--assuming the studies that I already have on my existing chart don't exceed 200. That is a current work around for my issue described above. Is there a method in SC to tell the chart to start counting at 300, 400, 500, etc... instead of 1 each time? Then I would be able to "Adding a Study Collection Without Clearing Existing Studies" and everything would just "work", without having to do any *manual* changes to newly generated study IDs. Maybe you have a different solution to this problem...but my request is a workaround that will save me *HOURS* of repeating work that I have already done. A 2nd request would be to simply make the "studies collection" a flat text file--then I can do a grep/substitute search and instantly update study ID numbers. I don't see this option either. Maybe you have another idea that is just as easy..please let me know. Your thoughts are much appreciated... |
