Understanding Graph-Display Templates

Templates are custom graphic layouts that you create, store, and reuse. Using the templates, you can simultaneously display one or more data-analysis tools in the Quality application client, making it possible to compare different graphs and charts for the same sets of data. For example, suppose you use a line graph, a bar graph, and a box plot to display a dataset. You can set up the Quality application client to display the three charts in the identical format for each dataset you examine.

You can also compare two datasets that are not identical, just similar. For example, if you create a layout using certain attributes or measurement columns, you can apply that layout to all similar datasets that have those columns defined. You can access data-analysis tools individually, using the Quality application client toolbar, or use the View menu.
