Options dialog box: Preview tab

Use the Preview tab of the Options dialog box to set defaults for previewing interviews in UNICOM Intelligence Author. By default, interviews are previewed using Internet Explorer.

Use embedded Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is the default option. Interview previews will be embedded in the Interview Preview window using Internet Explorer.

Note When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (or greater), you must manually update the default template:

1 Open this file in a text editor (for example, Microsoft Notepad):

%ProgramData%\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\<version>\Author\Library\Templates\DefaultLayout.htm

Select this option to preview interviews in an different internet browser. Click Browse and select the .exe program to use. This option is only valid for Web previews.

Note When using an alternate browser, such as Firefox 10 or above, you may encounter issues with displayed images. The alternate browser may block the images (local files) from displaying when previewing the interview. You can resolve this issue by changing the browser's security settings. For example:

user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://localhost:15230");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy", false);

http://localhost:15230 is the preview interview URL. Do not include a forward slash character "/" at end of the URL.

Use the following settings with Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or above:

▪Set the Compatibility view mode to Internet Explorer 8 (Tools > Compatibility View settings), and select the Display all websites in Compatibility viewoption.

▪Open the Internet Options dialog, switch to theSecurity tab, and add the preview interview URL (for example,http://localhost:15230) to the Trusted sites.
