Metrics Selection List

The Metrics Selection List controls which position metrics appear as columns in the ephemeris table. Each metric row carries a checkbox: checking a metric adds its column for every selected body, and unchecking removes it. The list works before or after you generate records, and it appears the same way in all three ephemeris study types.

Selecting Metrics

To show or hide a single metric column:

• Click the metric's checkbox to select or deselect it.

The right-click context menu acts on the metric rows you have highlighted, so you can change several at once.

tip

Ctrl-click or Shift-click metric rows to highlight several at once before using the context menu.

To select the highlighted metrics:

1. Highlight one or more metric rows in the list.
2. Right-click the selection and select Select.

To deselect the highlighted metrics:

1. Highlight one or more metric rows in the list.
2. Right-click the selection and select Deselect.

To deselect every metric at once:

• Right-click any metric row and select Clear All.

Available Metrics

The list offers five metrics. The label for two of them depends on the study's reference plane, so the table below shows both forms.

With Ecliptic reference plane	With Equatorial reference plane	Description
Longitude	Right Asc	The body's longitude along the reference plane.
Sign Position	Sign Position	The body's position expressed within its zodiac sign.
Latitude	Declination	The body's latitude relative to the reference plane.
Distance	Distance	The body's distance from the coordinate origin, expressed in AU.
Speed	Speed	The body's rate of motion, expressed in degrees per day.

note

Selecting metrics here is one of two ways to control which columns appear in the ephemeris table. You can also show or hide any column directly from the table; see Toggle Column Visibility.
