no edit summary
After an the optimization process is complete then a detailed Strategy Optimization Report is available for reviewingdisplayed.
The Strategy Optimization Report allows to review for reviewing the results of all the test inputs combinations tested (in tabular view).  Columns represent 18 strategy performance fields as well as all the inputs which were optimized during the current run for each inputs combination tested. Each row represents a set of test results for a given inputs combination.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Tip: The data in any column can be selected as the optimization criteria.</div>
== Spreadsheet view ==
 Spreadsheet columns represent 18 strategy performance indices and all inputs that have been optimized. Each spreadsheet row represents a set of test results for a given inputs combination. === Report Fields Indices===
The performance indices include:
<br>Input Values
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The performance indices are identical to those the same as in the Strategy Performance Report.</div>
<br>
# Repeat for the second drop-down list.
# Repeat for the third drop-down list.
# Check '''“Use as Default”''' to save settings for future use(if required).
<br>
It is possible to apply the inputs combination that produced the best strategy results after the last optimization to the strategy.
To apply the best an inputs combination:
# Double-click on the desired row in the report.
==Working with 2D Graphs==
To display a Strategy Optimization Report as a 2D graph select the '''2D Graph''' tab.
In the 2D Graph view the results of the report are presented as lines. The lines represent the performance indices per one or several strategy inputs. The base input selector is located in the lower part of the window, additional inputs are configured in the graph settings.
The 2D Graph can also be opened in a separate window. To do that in the Optimization Report window click on this icon: [[File:CopyWindow-20-125.png]].
The graph can be zoomed in and out using the scroll wheelof the mouse, and moved within the window using the keyboard arrows. Resetting the graph to its original view requires double-clicking on it or clicking on the reset button that’s found in the upper left corner: [[File:reset-20-150.png]].
Each indice line can be moved up and down separately with the help of the left mouse button. Right-clicking on one of the lines displays the function’s value in that particular point.
The indices lines can be added and removed. Click on the gear icon [[File:Settings-16-175.png]] or on the legend area in the upper right corner to open the '''2D Graph Settings''' window.
====Graph tab====
* '''Show Legend'''. Check this option to display the legend in the upper right corner.
* '''Single Function with Variable Inputs'''. If this option is selected it is possible to view how a performance index (function) is changing on different input values. Apart from '''Function''' and '''Input''' themselves such parameters as '''Gradient Range''', '''Number of Values''' and '''Input Values Range''' can be configured.
* '''Multiple Functions with Fixed Inputs'''. If this option is selected it is possible to view how several performance indices (functions) are changing on the fixed input values. The settings for this option include the choice of the set of functions and their colors. One can select all and clear the choice of all functions by clicking on the corresponding buttons '''Select All''' and '''Clear All'''.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;"> Note: you can save the configuration of the settings can be saved for the future use with the help of the '''Use as Default''' option.</div>
====Fixed Inputs tab====
This tab contains the inputs that weren’t selected on the Graph tab. The remaining inputs can be manually set to the desired values using the dropdown list.
==Working with 3D Graphs==
As the name suggests, this option allows for viewing the optimization report in the 3D format. The 3D Graph can be zoomed in and out and also rotated with the help of the scroll-wheel and left mouse button correspondingly.
=== 3D Graph Settings===
Apart from the basic options ('''Copy to Clipboard''' and '''Save As''') there are several features that can be used.
In the in the '''3D View Settings''' window there’s the '''Insert From File''' option. It allows fro the insertion of the other 3D Optimization reports in the .MCReport or.ORS formats.
On the '''Inputs''' tab of the '''3D View Settings''' window it is possible to set the static values for the inputs that are not selected for the X and Y axis on the 3D Graph itself.
== Saving the Strategy Optimization Report ==
To It is possible to store the optimization report data reports for every chart through any chart copy or workspace save operations after being generated, click . To do that in [[Preferences|'''Preferences''', ]] select the [[Preferences#Workspaces|'''Workspaces''' ]] tab and check the '''Store Optimization Report''' check box.
<br>
== Exporting the Strategy Optimization Report ==
It is possible to export the The Strategy Optimization Report can be exported to a comma-separated file, which is preferred for importing into further analysis in a spreadsheet application for further analysis.
To export the Strategy Optimization Report:
# In the Optimization Report click '''Save as''' button.
# In the '''Save As''' dialog window appeared navigate to the required file location.# In Type in the file name in the '''File Name''' field type in the file name.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: By default the file name includes date and time information.</div>
# Click '''Save'''.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: The entire report information will be saved to the file.</div>
<br>
== Viewing the Strategy Optimization Report in the Optimization Result Visualizer ==
64-bit: [https://goo.gl/HG2Svn ORVisualizer64bit] <br>
Double -click on the Optimization Report file will open it in the Optimization Result Visualizer application. <br>
