Exprn Filter Save/Load, + Export Report Enhancements

Postby YashN » Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:53 pm

1. Enable Save and Reload for Lines in Expression Filters in [My Reports], left-side Filters ->Edit Existing Expression Filters:

Benefits:

This feature will greatly enhance the usability of PT4 for rapidly analysing Villains as a Group, or do Population Analysis, something which is cited as a strong defining feature in competitors' trackers:

We reach the Expression Filter editing screen by clicking on [My Reports]->Filters on the left:

If we click on the rightmost button, we go to the Edit window:

New feature:

- Allow the Saving of the set of lines entered at the Top, with a user-defined name
- Also allow the subsequent Loading of saved sets of lines from a combobox listing all the saved ones to quickly set up Expression Filter sets.

This should look similar to how we save and load conditionals and colours for stats in HUDs for instance.

I'd say 10 Sets of 5 Lines each is a good start. More is better.

2. Report Export Enhancements: Include Aggregated Line of Stats in the Export - anywhere a Report can be exported, including but not limited to [My Reports]

Currently, when we Export a Report, the aggregated line (seen at the bottom in the 'status bar') is NOT exported in the Report. This offloads a lot of time as well as complexity to the end user, to the spreadsheet software, with mistakes happening all too often and too easily.

The simple addition of this aggregated data line in the Report Export can fix all these issues for end users:

Benefits:

1. This saves a lot of time for the end user after a Report Export because that aggregated line is currently NOT INCLUDED in the exported data and has to be re-created manually by the end-user

2. This prevents the very easily-made mistakes in having the user set up the formulae for aggregation inside the spreadsheet itself as some are simple sums but not all, some are averages, etc...

New feature:

- Also include the Report View aggregated line data
- Include the aggregated data as first line of the Report Data (NOT the Header, but first line right AFTER the Header)
