The Analytic Builder Wizard enables you to create new analytic definitions without having to create a Microsoft Visual Basic Application macro.

The Analytic Builder Wizard walks you through the steps needed to select the applicable diagram type, the criteria for filtering symbols, and selecting a color or icon to apply to the symbols that satisfy the given criteria. The new analytic definition will be created using a report‑based macro. This information will be stored in System Architect as a new definition type called Analytic Report.

The Analytic definition has a property called Analytic type, you have two options to choose from: Macro-based or Report-based. When selecting the Report-based option, the definition editor is displayed showing the Report tab.

In this tab, you can select which analytic report you want to add to the analytic Definition: Click Choices, and then drag the analytic report.
