But from my perspective, using ATC for simple "Counting" functionality when I want to do quick counts of various conditions that exist within a Watchlist or Group is usually more trouble or effort that I am willing make where ATC's are concerned. Why not simply add a new variable type that is initialized with each execution of an Explore and then 'persists' throughout the execution of the entire Explore so that you can display the various Counts of whatever you want without having to use the more complex Composite route? Maybe there is something too complex about establishing a new variable type of this nature in AB that I don't comprehend... and then maybe not.
