Steps:

1. Create a Trend with at least one tag.

2. Right-click the plot area of the Trend and choose Run Browser.

   

3. On the Run Filter tab, select Multiple Runs for Process and Period as the time period source. The Location / Process Period Type and Filter Runs By sections will appear. Also, the Location and Process fields are pre-populated based on the properties of the first tag in the Trend. If the selected process is grade-based, the Grade Filter section will also appear.
