Using a System Preset

System presets may be used to quickly generate commonly used charts from any search. Examples include trends for sale prices, days to sell or inventory volumes.

1. From the Navigation tabs, click the Stats tab. The Stats window opens.

You can use the same search criteria and select a different chart. Click on the System Preset chart you want and click Generate. The screen resets with the new chart.

Customizing Stats

1. From the Navigation tabs, click the Stats tab. The Stats window opens.

2. Enter your search criteria.

3. To customize the chart, click Customize tab. The Customize panel opens:

4. Select a Time Frame from the drop down list. The time frame is the range of dates for which the statistics are computed. You can select one of the built-in date ranges, or select Custom to define your own date range.

5. In the statistic drop down, choose the statistical analysis you would like to apply to the listings that match your search criteria.

6. In the Chart type, choose the type of chart you want.

7. Choose a Secondary Statistic from the drop down list. If you select a secondary statistic, then you may choose how to show that statistic appears from the Chart Type drop down (optional).

8. Selections in the Group By field determine the groupings within which the values from individual listings are aggregated to produce the values on the chart.  For example, when the statistic is median sale price, selecting "month" for the group by produces a chart that displays the median sale price for each month within the selected time frame.

9. Click the Style Options link to change the visual appearance of the chart. You can choose the color scheme and choose 3D effects if desired.

10. When you are done, click Generate. The chart resets reflecting your selections.

11. To view the data that makes up the values in the chart. Click the Data tab.

12. To transfer the values from the data tab onto the chart, click on the Chart tab.

13. Click the Display Values checkbox.

14. Click Generate. The chart now has the values at each data point.

Saving Your Chart

You can save your preset for reuse in the future.

A user preset (but not a system preset) can be saved with its own search criteria, for example if you often want to check the sale prices for a particular area. Alternatively, the preset can be saved with no search criteria, if you want to be able to use it to generate a chart from the results of any search.

1. Click the Save tab.

2. Type a Name for your chart preset.
