Using the Jade Sampling Class Selector Dialog

The Jade Sampling Class Selector dialog, accessed by clicking the Set Filters button in the Jade Sampling dialog, enables you to select the schema whose classes you want to filter for sampling and then select only the classes whose statistics you want sampled.

An example of the Jade Sampling Class Selector dialog is shown in the following diagram.

To select only the classes that you want included in the sample

  1. In the drop-down list box in the top center of the dialog, select the schema whose classes you want to select for inclusion in the sample. The class hierarchy for that schema is then displayed in the list box at the left of the dialog.

  2. From the class hierarchy, select one or more classes that you want included in the sampling context, and then click the > button if you want to add the selected class to the sample, or click the >> button if you want to add the selected class and all of its subclasses to the sample.

    Although all classes in all schemas are sampled by default, when you select a schema in this dialog, all classes are automatically excluded from the sampling context; that is, they are displayed in the class hierarchy in the left list box and are included in the sample only when you select the appropriate classes and click a button to move them to the right list box for inclusion in the sampling context.

    Alternatively, click the > All Classes button if you want to sample all classes.

  3. Reverse the actions described above in step 2 if you want to remove a class or classes from the sampling context.

  4. Select at least one of the sample types in the check boxes in the Types group box.

    These types are:

  5. Select other schemas and add additional classes to the list on the right of the dialog for inclusion in the sampling context, if required.

  6. Click the Apply button to retain your selections. Alternatively, click the Clear button to clear all previously applied selections. (The Clear button is enabled only if you previously selected classes in this dialog and you retained your selected classes by clicking the Apply button.)

  7. To return to the Jade Sampling dialog, click the Cancel button.

    All selected classes that you applied are then retained for sampling when you next begin a sampling context. (If you did not apply your selected classes, any selections that you made are abandoned.)

The filtering selections are invoked when you click the Begin button in the Sampling group box. This enables you to set up another class filter selection while a sampling context is active.
