Choosing What to Chart
Previous  Top  Next

In this step - the user needs to select which item will be charted. The user can choose any directory (or sub-directory) or any Analysis catagory. This is important to note - you can choose to chart the disk space usage of not just a directory - but any sub-directory or analysis catagory - such as a particular user, file extension, file size, etc. and see how it has changed over time.

As well - you can choose one - chart it - then close the chart come back to this screen - and then choose another to chart right away. No other utility offers this flexibility!

The following screen capture shows how items are selected to be charted. You choose the subject that you want to chart - such as the Tree or one of the analysis sections. Then you choose either the directory or the particular analysis catagory you want to chart. The first screen capture below shows the Tree - with the first directory chosen.

The screen capture below shows the Analysis by File Extension - with the *.doc file extension chosen. This works the same for all analysis sections - thus you could chart the disk space usage of a particular user, file type, etc.
