Analysis Records

Analysis records store information about the fields in the Analysis family that are used to populate the fields for the Analysis Definition. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Analysis family and appear on the LCC Analysis datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Sites section of the documentation.
