2. Generate a problems table based on the variables in the template

In this phase, you will generate a problems table—a tab-delimited spreadsheet for authoring multiple similar problems.

To generate a problems table:

  1. Select File > Create Problems Table.

  2. In the Create Problems Table dialog, the current graph name is populated in the field. If you'd like to select a different BRD template, browse for and select the BRD template.

  3. Click Create.

  4. Select a location to save the problems table file and name the file without an extension (the .TXT extension will be added automatically).

    Your problems table should now exist in the directory you specified above. If you receive an error, you may need to examine your behavior graph for typos (e.g., a variable name that starts with %( but does not end in )% ) and re-create the problems table.
