GlobalRecentSamplesNumberOfDays. After signing into Statistica Data Entry, the first page will display the recent samples. This variable controls the number of days of data that is retrieved, regardless of the Data Entry Setup. Leaving it blank causes the samples to be unfiltered, and could cause a performance issue.
