The list pane lists the variables that are in the project’s .mdd file, and shows the variable name, number, data type, and description (question text). To display only icons and names, see Changing the layout of the list pane.

The list pane usually shows only categorical variables as these are the ones most commonly used for quotas. To display numeric, text, and boolean variables as well, see Displaying all variables types in the list pane. UNICOM Intelligence Quota Setup also hides system variables as these are rarely useful: to display them, see Displaying system variables in the list pane.

The list pane is undockable: you can convert it to a window, resize it, and move it anywhere on the screen, even outside the UNICOM Intelligence Quota window.

The details pane lists the categories (responses) in the variable that is currently selected in the list pane.

The details pane is also undockable.

The quota construction area is where you define the quotas by dragging in variables from the list pane, and then adding targets.

Click one of these toolbar buttons:

It is less common to define quotas based on numeric and text variables, so the List Pane displays them only if requested.

To display all variable types in the list pane, choose All Variables from the list at the top of the View Pane.

System variables are created by UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin when you parse the questionnaire, and contain general information such as the interview serial number, the date and time at which the interview started, and the name of the last question that the respondent answered. As such, they are not normally useful for quota control, and do not appear in the standard list of variables.

To display system variables in the list pane, choose View > View System Variables.
