  • The DTS Crosstab control bar displays automatically when the current project has connected to an active DTS schedule.

The Crosstab control bar displays schedule summary information from the last time your application was synchronized with DTS. Summary values are displayed for a specific date range - for example, average grade value, fuel cost, and so on.

Presuming crosstab information has been set up in the connected DTS project (consult your DTS help for information on how to do this), during playback of an animation (using the Sequence Control toolbar), the data columns of the control bar update to show a consolidated or compound value for the given data range and phase in the animation. Before playback, each crosstab row is shown in the bar and the following 5 data columns represent the next stage of animation, for example, according to the M4DANI field:

As the animation progresses, the data columns update to show the relevant details for each animation phase. In this example, for the average grade values for Silver and Gold:

The CrosstabTitle field reports the title, not the name of the field that is defined in the DTS Crosstab Options panel, for example:

Note: If you make changes to your DTS project (in terms of crosstab information), you need to click Refresh to ensure those changes are synchronized with your 3D window(s).
