In the Scores tab you can create new scores, edit, delete, export, import, copy and paste scores. The Scores tab also has the option to create example scores using the Build Example button. Once you create a new score, you will need to create new score bins, and edit their settings before you can use the new score.

The Scores field lists all available Scores.

To create a new score:

4. Delete

Selecting a score and clicking Delete will delete the score.

5. Export

Selecting a score and clicking Export will open a dialog in which you can save the score as a tab delimited file. Scores saved this way can then be imported into other CM4D documents.

7. Copy

8. Paste

Paste a copied score from the clipboard into the same document or into another document. When the same score is pasted more than once, the label "Paste n" is automatically added to the end of the duplicate score label.

9. Build Examples

Build Examples will create two examples of commonly used Scores, "Cpk" and "TolEval", along with the 12 Styles those scores are set up to use. These examples may be edited or deleted the same as Scores you create manually. Edit "Cpk" and "TolEval" to see the properties of each Score.

 

How Scores Relate to Styles

Each bin can have its own style properties. Scores use styles to assign colors, fonts, etc. to different score value ranges. Therefore, it is a good idea to create the styles to use with new scores first.
