1. Starting the search for related variables in advanced mode – bookmark ‚List ’

2. Entering the name or key words for the time series the user is interested in. Additionally, the option determine other attributes of the chosen variable.

3. Starting the search.

4. Result of the search.

5. Access to parameter settings of the automatic selection process

6. Setting ‚Date from’ and ‚Date to’ conditions for the search.

7. Optional use of additional search

8. Adding or removing search conditons or groups of them.

9. Setting logical operators between set conditions.

10. Selecting the measure used to determine the level of relation between scanned variables and referential variable.

11. setting the time frame for examining relations.

12. Analyzing the measure of relation for each step from zero shift to the specified maximal shift. Each step (shift) is equal to the frequency (day, month etc.), which is set below.

13. Optimal shift – the value entered here is the lowest required value of optimal shift. Value >0 means that the user expects a trajectory of a scanned variable to precede the trajectory of the referential variable.

14. The user may determine the maximal number of variables in the outcome group. A specific number of variables, which are the most conformed to specified parameters or all the variables meeting the search conditions (in this case the number of results is unknown).

15. Selecting a specific frequency results in all the scanned variables as well as the referential variable being aggregated or disaggregated (to the chosen time interval).

16. Regardless of the chosen relation measure, the user may add additional conditions of correlation coefficient of scanned variables and the referential variable. The most important are maximal and minimal correlation coefficients calculated for all shifts (from zero shfit to max shift).)

17. When all the parameters are set, start the search process
When all the parameters are set, start the search process. Only the variables conforming to requirements are added to the group of related variables.

18. The information about the confirmation of the task and location of results is displayed.

19. The created group contains variables meeting the search conditions in a decreasing order of correlation coefficient. There is the shift value for the correlation coefficient in the square brackets. And there is the difference between correlation coefficient at optimal shift and the coefficient at zero shift in round brackets.
