      1. Replicate Number: Identifier for each replicate in a Test
      2. Is Ad Hoc Result?: Distinguishes an ad hoc Replicate from a preconfigured Replicate
      3. Result Scopes: Captures all scopes, including All Results in Test, that a Result’s variables use
      4. Result Label: The user defined name of a Result Replicate
