6.5 Promote Testplan Entries

A Promote testplan column allows you to add post-processing results to an overview report. The following table describes the Promote functions.

Note: If you want to use multiple functions for any one test, you place each Promote function in a separate column in the testplan.

Function	Description
PromoteGraph()	Places a copy of the graph named graph_name on the overview report and orders multiple graphs based on the weight argument if provided. The PromoteGraph() function is illustrated in 6.5.1 Promoting Graphs to the Overview Report. For syntax information, see PromoteGraph() in the DVM testplan documentation.
PromoteScalar()	Places a copy of the variable named scalar_name on the overview report and renames the scalar if the optional overview_scalar_name argument is provided. The PromoteScalar() function is illustrated in 6.5.2 Promoting Scalars to the Overview Report. For syntax information, see PromoteScalar() in the DVM testplan documentation.
