Collection Statistics
After all the hours of cataloging your collection, wouldn't it be nice to be able to actually 'see' your comics shown in graphs? Well .. that's what we thought, too! So we have built in a statistics screen that allows you to create graphs and charts.
The Statistics Screen
On the right of the Details View panel in Comic Collector, you can switch between Details View and the Statistics screen:
In the example screenshot above, I've chosen to see an overview of the different series in my collection and how many of each there are in my collection.
You can generate statistics like the above for pretty much each field of every entry in your collection. Click the yellow folder icon and choose one of the fields.
Here's what the different toolbar icons do, when clicked:
- Toggle Bar Chart / Pie Chart view
- Toggle Order by Count / order by Name view
- Choose Folder Fields for Stats
- Choose a color scheme
- Toggle 3D on/Off
- Help (links to this page)
- Print Statistics
- Lock/Unlock Current view
- Auto Switch to Stats On/Off (switching this option off, will start Game Collector in Detail View)
- Open Comic Collector
- Create a filter
- Search > Set Filter > Create/Modify Filter(s)
- All about creating filters in Using the Filter Screen
