Run names tend to be long, uninformative, or overly detailed which can impact the effectiveness of your data presentation. By assigning friendly run names, you can streamline the appearance of charts and legends, enabling you to emphasize run-specific details and present your analysis with greater clarity.

To assign friendly run names using the "Group by" feature, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new property:

    Navigate to the Runs table or Library page to create a new property for your custom run names (e.g. 'Alias').

  2. Change Data Type to 'Text':

    Edit the property and set data type to 'Text'.

  3. Assign Friendly Run Names:

    Enter your desired run names into the custom property field via the Runs table.

  4. Apply 'Group By' in charts:

    On the analysis page, choose the newly custom property from the 'Group By'-dropdown menu.

The custom text values will replace Run IDs in charts and chart legends, making it easier to identify and compare runs during analysis.
