I feel a little stupid asking this after 3 years but...

In SQL Mode can I use a factor thats not showing on the HTML Report as a UPR factor...

I have Qrating in the list of 48 factors. You can move it into those. Or make it a UserFactor and use it in the 35 factors that make up Fxx.

Be careful moving stuff around, You might have a UDM pulling that cell, thinking it is some other factor.

Jeff correct me if I'm wrong.

The short answer? Yes.

The longer answer? Here's how it works:

When creating entries in the IV Table Wizard or UPR Tools to define UserFactors and/or UPR:

Your sql factor setup and your html report layout do not come into play at all.

Simply put:

Any factor displayed in the factors drop downs of the IV Table Wizard or UPR Tools interfaces can be used in your entries to define UserFactors and/or UPR.




Q. So when does the sql factor setup come into play?

A. The sql factor setup comes into play for sql udms.

More specifically:

The sql expressions that make up your sql udm definitions are limited to the field names in the starterhistory table as defined in the table schema doc here:
http://www.jcapper.com/helpdocs/starterhistorytableschema.html





Q. When does the html report layout come into play - and what does it do?

A. The html report layout controls the location and display attributes of the factors shown on your html report.

As such it has nothing to do whatsoever with UserFactors, UPR, and/or SQL UDMs.
