Displaying Your Data

This section explains how to control the display of your data in Diabetes Pilot for Mac. Diabetes Pilot provides several different filtering options for displaying your data. This allows you to focus on the information that is important to you at a particular moment, without being distracted by other data that you may have recorded.

Display Filters

The display filter control is located on both the My Records page and on the Reports page. On the My Records page, the filter controls which records are displayed in the record grid. On the Reports page, the filter controls which records are included in the report that you generate. Records can be filtered by type, category, and date:

To control which dates are displayed, select an item from the list labeled "Display these dates".

To control which record types are displayed, check the boxes next to the types you wish to display in the box labeled "Display these record types"

To control which record types are displayed, check the boxes next to the categories you wish to display in the box labeled "Display these categories". Note that you may need to use the scroll bar along the right side of the box to access all of the categories in the list.

A record must match all of the filter criteria to be displayed.

Click on the "Show All Records" to allow all of the records to be shown. If you're having trouble finding a record that you think should appear in the list, click this button so that all of the records are displayed - this may help you locate what you're looking for.

Use the "All" or "None" buttons in each section to select or deselect all of the items in a section. This provides a convenient starting point for when you want to display just a few records.

Scrolling the Display

If you've selected more records that can fit on a single screen, a scrollbar will be visible along the right side of the record list. Slide the bar up and down or tap on the bar's arrows to scroll the list and view all of the records.

Sorting the Display

You can change the way that records are sorted on the My Records page. To resort your records, click on the heading of the column that you would like to sort by. For example, if you wanted to sort your records by type, click on the word "Type" that is at the top of the type column. To sort by time, click on the "Time" heading. You can sort your data by any of the columns. To reverse the sort order, click on the column heading a second time.
