All sub-projects visible on current view - If you activate this option, all activities from all sub-projects on the current view are included in the analysis.
Selected sub-projects - If you activate this option, only the activities in the selected sub-projects are analyzed.
All activity templates - All Activity templates are entered as entries within the legend. It is irrelevant if this display is being used within the time-distance diagram!
Use only those with 'Include in legend' set - Takes only those templates where the flag Include in legend is set in the activity libraries.
Selected activity templates - The selected activity templates are entered as entries within the legend. It is irrelevant if this display is being used within the time-distance diagram!
Summary of legend entries
Especially when you have manually edited the display of Activities or you are using the same display within Activity templates for several templates, this display can be summarised within the legend. Using criteria, the display of the Activities is checked and summarised.
The more criteria used, the fewer displays are summarised.
Example
You have 5 Activities with the name Earth Moving. However, each Activity has a different line style. If you select the name only as criteria, all 5 Activities are summarised. If you select the line style as an additional criteria, all 5 Activities are listed separately.
If there are identical Activity Names in the number of activities that should be considered in the legend, the (redundant) name is entered once only in the legend.
The activity first created (smallest ID) is used.
The same rule is applied for the other attributes (user template name, display type, line color, etc.)
