Using the hierarchical view
By default, UNICOM Intelligence Professional uses the hierarchical view when the CDSC you are using to access the case data supports the hierarchical view. From version 3.5, it also uses the hierarchical view for DSCs that do not support the hierarchical view, provided that a metadata file is available. This means that you can tabulate data from the following CDSCs using the hierarchical view of the data:
QDI/DRS DSC
Quantum DSC
Quanvert DSC
Relational MR CDSC (RDB DSC 2)
SPSS Statistics SAV DSC
Surveycraft DSC
XML CDSC.
When the hierarchical view is being used, you can:
create grid tables
use variables that are nested inside a loop or grid in tables
choose the level at which tables are to be populated.
