Using the UNICOM Intelligence Reporter window and displaying previews

You can rearrange the window by resizing or switching off tabs that you are not using. You can also move menus, toolbars, and individual tabs around in the window.

You can change the size of different areas. Drag the edge between the Variables pane and the Tables pane upwards.

You can display a snapshot of the data values in a variable, before you add it to a table:

1 In the Variables pane, right-click a variable, for example, age, and then click Generate Variable Preview.

The Variable Preview pane appears, with a summary of the values in each category of the variable. Depending on the type of variable, you can display a chart, a table, or the original question, by clicking the relevant tab at the bottom of the pane.

2 To close the pane, click the X button on the title bar of the pane, or press Alt+9. Pressing Alt+9 again reopens the pane.

A number of panes, including the Variable Preview pane, the Tables pane and the Variables pane, can be moved around the window and displayed either as floating panes or as docked panes. Try docking the Variable Preview pane beneath the Variables pane:

1 Unlock the window settings so that you can move the toolbar: click Tools > Options.

2 Click the Size and Layout tab. Select Allow docking and undocking of window panes, and then click OK.

3 Drag the Variable Preview pane to the bottom left of the screen.

Click the left of the Tables toolbar, and then drag the toolbar to the middle of the window. You can leave the toolbar floating on top of the window, or drag it to the top, side or bottom of the window, and drop it to dock it in position.

The changes you make are remembered when you close UNICOM Intelligence Reporter and reopen it.

You can lock the settings of the docked windows and toolbars when you have finished, so that you do not make accidental changes.

2 Click the Size and Layout tab, clear Allow docking and undocking of window panes, and then click OK.

If you do not want to keep the changes you have made, you can restore the layout settings to the defaults supplied with UNICOM Intelligence Reporter.

Click View > Restore Default Layout., and then click Yes.
