AQX allows you to define your own dictionary structure by creating groups and sub-groups then adding dictionary items into the group folders. This effectively allows you to create your own dictionary hierarchy and allows for greater flexibility in reporting.
In AQX groups can be created in the same area as other dictionary selections which means that they can be used in conjunction with a normal dictionary selection and saved as one overall selection.
How to Create a Group Structure
The steps to creating a group are listed below
1. Create a Group/ Sub-group folder structure
To create a Group folder:
- Right click in a blank area in the Selected Pane
- Select Add Sub Folder
- Give the folder a name.
To create Sub-groups within a group folder:
- Right clicking over the group folder you want to create a sub-group in
- Select Add Sub Folder
- Give the folder a name
With either of the above you can make as many groups & subsequent sub-groups as you like. Once you've created your structure - all you need to do is drag the appropriate dictionary items into the structure as required.

TIP: If you wish to repeat a folder structure you have just made - you can copy and paste the folders into your selection as many times as you like. Then just rename the folders as necessary and drag in the appropriate items as outlined in step 2 below. |
2. Place Dictionary items into the group structure
Next you need to move the dictionary items you require into the group folder/s.
Selections are made as per a dictionary selection (for more information - see Create a Dictionary selection) - HOWEVER - there are a few things to note as outlined below.
