How to Combine Samples from One or More Tables into One New Table

This guide will show you how to take samples from one or more tables to another new table.  For example, you can combine all your case files you are working on from a batch of samples into a new table.

Open up your Sample Tables containing the samples you would like to combine.

Import into ArmedXpert the Sample Tables.

 

Click on Combine Sources

To combine sample table(s) or sample(s) into one new combined sample table, click on the Combine Source button.  This will open the Combine Sources window.

The Sample & sources box displays all open sample tables.  By clicking on the +  next to the Sample Table name, the list will expand to show all available samples on the sample table.

Choose Samples

Click on the entire sample table or the specific sample you wish to combine and then the arrow > button.  The sample table or sample then will move to the Selected samples & sources box on the right.  Repeat for the next sample table or sample. The >> button will move all samples at once.

You can also use the Selection Filter box to enter in a specific name and all samples containing that name will be highlighted.  This is helpful in finding certain samples in a large sample table. Click the > button and all samples highlighted will move to the Selected samples & sources box.  The “Ignore Case” next to the selection filter box should be checked if you would like the selection filter choice to include all samples containing the filter regardless of upper or lower case.  The “Also select tables” option should be checked if you would like the selection filter to choose tables as well as samples that contain the filter.

Name the New Table & Combine

By default, the names of all selected samples will automatically fill in as the title of the combined report.  You can keep the default title or you can type in a new name for the combined report that is being created. Hit the “Combine” button to create the combined report.

New Table Opens

A new table with your given name opens containing your chosen files.  As shown in the image, we took three  samples from a bigger sample table and created a new smaller table only containing those three samples.

Remember to export this sample as page data before you close or the new sample table with be lost.
