Workload tabs

Daily workload

In the picture above, the record of repetitions executed over a two-month period in October and November of 2006. Additionally, Daily workload tab displays the Monthly total, as well as the Daily average. Note that the number of executed repetitions in the workload may differ from the number of elements in the history subset for that day (e.g. opened by pressing Enter on a selected entry). For example, the same element can be memorized and reset more than once. However, it will appear only once in the history subset. Depending on the operation, elements may or may not register in the history subset. For example, cloze deletions produced by Decompose will register on the assumption that you cannot execute Decompose without first reviewing the decomposed phrase. However, Dismember will not register child elements. For example, you might have just dismembered a page with multiple pictures without having time to review those pictures.

Monthly workload

In the presented picture, the record of repetitions executed over a three-year period (i.e. the years: 2005, 2006, and 2007). Additionally, Monthly workload tab displays the Annual total, as well as Monthly and Daily (items + topics) averages.

Workload graph

In the presented picture above, the number of elements scheduled for repetition/review from Jul 03, 2009 onward until the end of the year.
