Template groups and templates listed in this step are based on the system types in the selected domain and the entity filter associated with the selected domain. Template group: Select the required template group from the list. Template: Select the required template from the list. Template description: Each template is briefly described when selected. For more information, see Analyzing domain data. Metrics used by template: Displays the metrics that are used by the selected template.

   Time filter	Select the time filter for the analysis. You can select an existing time filter or create a custom one. If the selected entities only contain data for a limited time period, the wizard informs you about it so that you can choose the most suitable filter.

You can choose if you want to run the analysis immediately, schedule it for execution, or continue editing it with the analysis editor, that lets you modify the options pre-configured by the analysis template.
   Summary	Click Finish to create the analysis. The analysis is created and runs as per the schedule selected in the earlier step.
