The Run Browser can be launched as a separate window from any Trend to configure how runs are loaded in the trend. This section covers settings that are specific to the trend’s run browser.
The Settings Ribbon contains options on how runs load and appear in trends.
On/Off Indicator: Shows whether the trend is currently in run mode.
Stop Button: Click this button to exit run mode.
Load Runs in Trend: Generates runs using user-defined criteria and loads them in the trend.
Send Runs to Grid: Generates runs using user-defined criteria and loads individual runs in the Runs Grid, from where they can be selectively loaded into the trend by the user.
Save Browser Config: Saves the settings in the current tab. Run Browser will open to this tab with these settings in all trends until the configuration is overwritten by another save. This option does not save Start or End times.
Enable Current Mode: Selecting this option will include any current, unfinished run (if available) in run search. It is only available when the Run Filter tab is used.
Apply To All Trends: If Run Browser is launched from a multi-trend, this will cause the run browser filter to affect all trends in the window.

•Median: This will normalize the maturity variables to the median value of all the final maturity values.
