The Statistics Screen
After all the hours of cataloging your collection, wouldn't it be nice to be able to actually 'see' your games 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 Game 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 genres 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 Game Collector
- Create a filter
- Search > Set Filter > Create/Modify Filter(s)
