Headers and footers
You use headers and footers to display information about your tables. You can display the information in up to eight different positions around the table. About 30 different fields are available for inserting information about the tables, filters, weighting, data set, population date and time, and so on. You can also include your own free-formatted text and use a limited number of standard HTML tags to define formatting and hyperlinks.
The exact way that the headers and footers are displayed in the exported tables depends on the type of export you use. You can optionally suppress the headers and footers when you export your tables.
The following diagram shows the position of the headers and footers.
You can set up the text to display in these positions for individual tables, as defaults to apply to new tables, or as
global headers and footers to apply to all of the tables in the table document. See
Defining headers and footers for more information.
The initial default headers and footers are shown in the following table.
Position | Description |
|---|
Title Header | Project description. |
Left Header | Table description and filters. |
Right Header | Table number and description of the weighting variable, if any, and population level. |
Left Footer | Cell contents and information about the statistical tests, if any, and details of any hide rules that have been applied, as well as warning messages for statistical tests and explanations of symbols. |
Note Make sure that the following fields are always included in one of the header or footer positions. Without this information, the published tables can be misleading:
▪Cell Contents
▪Filters
▪Weight Variable
▪Statistics
▪Populate Warnings
▪Cell Item Symbols
▪Level (if you are working with hierarchical data)
You can define headers and footers for a single table or for multiple tables. See
Defining headers and footers for more information. There is more than one way of defining headers and footers for multiple tables:
▪You can define global headers and footers. These are applied to all of the tables in the table document. If any other headers and footers are defined in the same position for any of the tables, they will appear on those tables after the global headers and footers. Note that the global headers and footers will be applied to any new tables that you create.
▪You can define the headers and footers and other settings (such as cell contents, weighting, statistical tests, and so onand so on) for a table, then make the settings for the current table the default. The headers and footers and other settings will then be used by default for all new tables and you can change the settings on individual tables when necessary.
▪You can define the headers and footers and other settings (such as cell contents, weighting, and so onand so on) using the options on the Preferences tab for one table, and then apply the settings for the current table to all tables. The headers and footers and other settings will then be applied to all of the existing tables in the table document, and will overwrite any existing settings on the individual tables. However, you can change the settings for individual tables when necessary. Note that the settings will not be applied to any new tables that you create (unless you also choose Set As Default).
