Ok, I'll bite! What do you mean? Maybe give an example of what you are trying to do.
If you want to assign standard assignments, TDI, etc. or whatever to a bunch of samples, just select the bunch of samples in the Analyze! window sample list and click the appropriate button (Standard Assignments, Elements/cations, etc.) and the program will assign the specified parameters to all selected samples. Is that what you mean?
So far I have done it this way (with selecting multiple samples etc) and then changing each property one by one. But right now I am processing a massive amount of samples (big project / + testing new standard block) and would like to get this more efficient and stream lined.
My complaints for a big throughput: it gets tedious to change the standards individually (and loading the available standards gets slow if you have many, many standards calibrated) and can get up to many, many clicks.
My ideal solution: all the information that I want to assign is stored in a sample set-up anyway. I just would like to put together a "master" sample(s) with specific standard assignments, calculation options, save it as a set-up and then be able to assign it to samples in the analysis window just like for the positions.
Let's say for example, I ran various silicates (ol, plag, cpx etc) with the same set-up but then want to have albite as Si-standard for plag, forsterite for olivine etc, TDI correction for the albite but not for the olivine, formula on the basis of 8 O for plag but 4 for olivine and so on. Of course I could just specify that ahead of time with different set-ups before I run it but 1) I am not always that organized, 2) sometimes one mineral turns out to be another. If you have many analyses the clicking around gets old real fast.
Further benefit would be that by assigning a set-up I would minimize the possibility that I forgot to change one of the variables for some of the samples.
Does this make it more clear?
