    • Building a Power Graph
      1. Select the data type to be graphed from the ‘Graph’ drop-down list.
      2. Select the manner to organize the data in the graph (ie. by year, month, region, site, etc.) from the ‘Group By’ drop-down list.
      3. Select the style of graph from the ‘Type’ drop-down list.
      4. To further define the way in which the data is grouped (as defined in the ‘Group By’ field), select an option from the ‘Stack By’ drop-down list. For example, you may wish to define the data by ‘Year’ and then further define the data by ‘Site’. Once the ‘Stack By’ drop-down is populated, use the ‘Stack’ drop-down list to define how ‘stacked’ groupings will appear on the graph (ie. side-by-side or vertical).
      5. Select the appropriate time frame for the graph in the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ fields: to do so, click to select the month, date or year data in the field, then click the up/down arrows to cycle through months, dates, or years.
      6. To further refine the graph, click the ‘Show Legend w/ Analysis’, ‘Show Percentages’ and/or ‘Vertical Labels’ checkboxes as necessary.
      7. To define the exact parameters of the data to be graphed, click the various checkboxes on the bottom of the window as appropriate.
      8. To include an entire category of data, click the ‘All’ checkbox.
      9. To select specific data within a category, click to remove the ‘All’ checkmark then click to select the appropriate data type(s) from the list.
      10. To select multiple data types, press CTRL and click the mouse button at the same time.
      11. To further define the appearance of the graph, click any of the five buttons (located underneath the slanted arrow button) that appear along in the middle portion of the window.
      12. Click the slanted arrow button to exit a selected button and return to default mode.
      13. To modify the appearance of the graph, click the tools button (consisting of images of a wrench and screwdriver), located above the ‘Printer’ button in the middle portion of the window.
      14. To view the graph, click the ‘Create Graph’ button.
