Add statistics to collections and chapters
There are two ways to add statistics to a collection: when saving the statistic or in the Favorites management section. There you can also move it into a subordinate chapter.
Option 1: You can open a menu by clicking on the star to the right of the statistic. Here you can directly save it to the right collection. In case the collection includes multiple chapters then the statistic will be moved to the uppermost chapter. By clicking the button "Manage-Favorites" you will be forwarded to the management of the favorites.
