Reporting Example 5

Adding text to a text/metric table in the report

Using TEXT_DATA

Create a TEXT_DATA Item for the text you want in the cell.

Create_Text_Data

/SIGNAL_FOLDER=TEST

/SIGNAL_NAMES=CELL_TEXT

/TEXT_DATA=Hello Cell

;

• First add the text/metric table to the report

• Select the data type as File Metric/Text Data

Enter the Expression "TEXT_DATA::TEST::CELL_TEXT select the file tag "ALL_FILES" select update

The resulting report graph should look like.

Using explict text

• First add the text/metric table to the report

• Select the data type as Text

Enter the text select the file tag select update

Using a Model metric

The subject data metrics in the model will accept a text string by prefixing the string with a '

Add the subject data to a metric table cell

Using a file metric

The problem with this approach is that you must enter the text manually.

If you want to add the text from a movement trial using a pipeline command, you are almost out of luck because Visual3D metrics are numerical only.

It is possible to be a little creative and to create a metric signal whose name is the text you want to use.

Create a metric value labeled with the subject name.

Metric_Explicit

/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=John Doe

/RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=SUBJECT

/METRIC_VALUE=0

;

You can not add the metric to the table and select the option to display the data name.
