19 Getting Started Chapter 2 ThetopicsinthissectionwalkyouthroughgettinginandoutofIBM SPSS DataCollection Survey Reporter, navigating around the Survey Reporter window, and carrying out some common tasks including creating and exporting tables. ach topic contains links to topics with further details. It is recommended that you read these topics in order and, if possible, try following the examples using the sample survey data. The tables in these topics use the Museum XML sample survey data, which comes with the IBM SPSS Data Collection Developer Library. If you do not have access to this sample, you may want to try following the examples using your own survey data to create similar tables. Topics in this section 1. Opening a Survey Data File 2. Moving Around The IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter Window and Displaying Previews 3. Displaying Results and Saving Your Work 4. Creating Crosstabulations 5. Changing the Cell Contents 6. Adding a Filter 7. Changing the Content of Rows and Columns 8. Creating Profiles of Respondent Data 9. Publishing Your Results Opening a Survey Data File Once you have installed IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter, you can open it from the Windows Start menu. Choose: Programs > IBM SPSS Data Collection > IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter > IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter The Survey Reporter window appears. In Survey Reporter, you can work with survey data from a number of different file formats, including SPSS SAV files, IBM SPSS Quanvert databases, relational Data Collection databases, and Data Collection XML data files. The survey data file is opened read-only, and Licensed Materials - Property of IBM Copyright IBM Corporation 2000,

20 6 Chapter 2 all the work that you do is saved in the form of a table document (.mtd) file, which references the survey data file. In most cases, rather than open the data file directly, you open a metadata (.mdd) file that refers to the data file and tells Survey Reporter how to read the data. Open a survey data file From the menu, choose: File > Open Use the Open dialog box to browse to the Museum sample survey (or one of your own survey data files). By default, the Museum survey data is installed with the IBM SPSS Data Collection Developer Library in [INSTALL_FOLDR]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\6\DDL\Data\XML. Select the metadata (Museum.mdd) file and choose Open. The survey data file opens, and a list of all the variables in the file appears in the Variables pane. Figure 2-1 The Variables pane As well as opening the survey data file, Survey Reporter creates a new table document (mtd) file, in which you can save the results of your analysis of the survey data. This means that your survey data file is not affected by any changes that you make using Survey Reporter, as all changes are saved in the table document file. At the moment, this file has no name, as you can see from the title bar and the top level of the Tables pane, which say Untitled. In a later topic, we will save the file and give it a name. For now, we will add a description of the project to the file. From the menu, choose File > Properties In the File Properties dialog box, enter the description Museum of the Living World Visitor Survey in the Description field, and choose OK to close the dialog box. The description is displayed in the Design pane, and will also appear when you display results. To exit Survey Reporter once you have finished working through these examples, choose: File > xit

21 7 Getting Started If you have any unsaved changes, you are prompted to save them in a table document (.mtd) file. Moving Around The IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter Window and Displaying Previews The IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter window is divided into a number of areas. On the left of the window are the Tables pane, which displays a list of all the tables you create, and the Variables pane, which displays a list of all the variables in your survey data. In the center are the Design, Filter, and Results panes, where you define how you want tables to appear and display the results. As you work with Survey Reporter, you may find it useful to 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. Try rearranging the window: Resize the Tables pane If you find that there is not enough space in some areas of the screen, you can change the size of different areas, for example, the Tables pane. Place the mouse pointer between the Variables pane and the Tables pane, and click and drag the edge upwards. Figure 2-2 Resizing the Tables pane

22 8 Chapter 2 Display Previews of Variables You can display a snapshot of the data values in a variable, before you add it to a table: Right-click a variable, for example, age, in the Variables pane: Figure 2-3 Select age From the context menu, choose 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: Figure 2-4 Selecting a table preview for the age variable (Not all options are available for all types of variable). When you want to close the pane, choose the X button on the title bar of the pane, or press Alt+9 (pressing Alt+9 again reopens the pane).

23 9 Getting Started Dock the Variable Preview 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: First, unlock the window settings so that you can move the toolbar. From the menu, choose: Tools > Options Choose the Size and Layout tab and select the Allow docking and undocking of window panes check box, then choose OK. Place the mouse pointer on the title bar of the Variable Preview pane, and click and drag the pane. You will see that an outline appears around the pane to indicate where it will be placed when you release the mouse. As you drag the pane around the screen, this outline jumps to the nearest available location to place it. Drag the pane to the bottom left of the screen, then, when the outline appears beneath the Variables pane, release the mouse button.

24 10 Chapter 2 Figure 2-5 Moving the Variable Preview tab The Variable Preview pane appears in the new location. Note: It can take a few attempts to get thepanetogowhereyouwantitto. Move the Tables toolbar Place the mouse pointer at the left of the Tables toolbar. The cursor changes to a four-pointed arrow: Figure 2-6 Selecting the Tables toolbar Click and drag the toolbar and drop it in the middle of the window: Figure 2-7 The Tables toolbar undocked You can leave the toolbar floating on top of the window, or drag it to the top, side or bottom of thewindow,anddropittodockitinposition. Try moving some of the other panes and toolbars around the window. The changes you make will be remembered when you close Survey Reporter and reopen it.

25 11 Getting Started Lock Changes In Place If you are happy with your changes, you can lock the settings of the docked windows and toolbars when you have finished, so that you do not make accidental changes. Choose: Tools > Options Choose the Size and Layout tab and deselect the Allow docking and undocking of window panes check box, then choose OK. Restore the Layout If you do not want to keep the changes you have made, you can restore the layout settings to the defaults supplied with Survey Reporter. From the menu, choose: View > Restore Default Layout At the prompt, choose Yes. The screen reverts to the original layout. Displaying Results and Saving Your Work There are a number of ways of creating tables to display different views of your survey data. The easiest is to add the variables to the table area in the Design pane. Display the results for a single variable In the Variables pane, select the found_way variable. Tip: You can move quickly to a variable in the Variables pane by typing the first letters of its name until you reach the one you want. Choose the Add button on the Side area of the Design pane: Figure 2-8 Adding a variable to the side of the table

26 12 Chapter 2 Thevariableappearsonthesideofthetable: Figure 2-9 Adding a variable to the side of the table The table has the automatically generated description Table1. Click in the Table Description field and replace this with the description How respondent found way. You have now finished setting up the table, and all you need to do is generate the results. Choose the Results pane. Figure 2-10 Selecting the Results pane Tip: You can also press the F5 key, or select the Generate Results button on the toolbar: Figure 2-11 Generate results button IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter generates and displays the results. The table shows the number of respondents who gave a response in each category, and the percentage of the total that each category represents.

27 13 Getting Started Figure 2-12 Frequency table of found_way Save your results From the menu, choose: File > Save or press Ctrl+S. In the Save dialog box, browse to a folder where you want to save your results. In the File Name field, enter a name for the file, for example, Museum Survey Results, andchoose Save. The file is saved with the file extension.mtd. Creating Crosstabulations The previous topic showed how to create a simple table showing the frequency of responses in each category of a variable. This topic shows how to crosstabulate two variables. Crosstabulate age and gender From the menu, choose: Tables > New > Table Tip: You can also press Ctrl+T, or select the New table button on the toolbar: Figure 2-13 New table button

28 14 Chapter 2 In the Variables pane, locate the age variable: Figure 2-14 Selecting the age variable Click and drag the age variable onto the Add button in the Side area of the Design pane: Figure 2-15 Adding a variable to the side of the table Thevariableappearsonthesideofthetable: Figure 2-16 Adding a variable to the side of the table Tip: You can also press Ctrl+Alt+S to add the selected variable to the side.

29 15 Getting Started In the same way, select the gender variable and add it to the top of the table (or use Ctrl+Alt+T): Figure 2-17 Adding a variable to the top of the table Tip: If you add a variable by mistake, press Ctrl+Z to undo the change. Replace the description Table2 with Age by gender. This time, select the toolbar button to generate the results: Figure 2-18 Generate results button IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter generates the table and displays it in the Results pane. Figure 2-19 Table of age by gender

30 16 Chapter 2 In this example, the Base row shows how many respondents there are of each gender and the Base column shows how many respondents there are in each age group. The point where a row and a column intersect is called a cell, and in this table the cells show the number of respondents with the combined set of row and column characteristics. For example, the cell at the intersection of the years row and the Male column shows that there are 108 men age between 25 and 34 in the sample. To save the results, press Ctrl+S or use the menu option: File > Save The table document that you saved previously is updated to include the new table. Changing the Cell Contents If you look at one of the tables created in the previous topics, you can see that each cell of the table contains two figures. These are the default cell contents, namely counts (the number of respondents that satisfy the row and column conditions for each cell) and column percentages. The cell contents for each table are listed in the table footer. You can change the cell contents for any table to show the information that you are interested in. Remove column percentages from a table In the Tables pane, select the table you created in Creating Crosstabulations: Figure 2-20 Selecting a table From the menu, choose Tables > Properties Tip: You can also press F4, or choose the Table Properties button on the toolbar: Figure 2-21 Table Properties button The Table Properties dialog box appears, showing the Cell Contents tab. On the left of the tab is a list of all the types of cell contents that you can use in a table. On the right are the two default items, Counts and Column Percentages. Select Column Percentages in the Included in cells list on the right of the dialog box, and use the << button to remove it from the list of items.

31 17 Getting Started Figure 2-22 Removing column percentages Choose OK to close the dialog box. The table is regenerated automatically to display the updated results (if the Results pane is not selected, select it or press F5 to generate the results). The table now contains only counts. Figure 2-23 Table of age by gender showing only counts Finally, press Ctrl+S to save the updated table in the table document. Adding a Filter You can apply filters to your data, so that only those cases meeting certain conditions are included in the results. In this example, we will make a copy of the table of age by gender, and filter out all respondents of 16 years of age and under; that is, those who selected the years category in the survey question: To which age group do you belong? Create a filter to exclude respondents aged 16 and under In the Tables pane, select the table you created in Creating Crosstabulations: Figure 2-24 Selecting a table

32 18 Chapter 2 From the menu, choose dit > Copy then dit > Paste Tip: You could also press Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V. A new table called Copy of Age by gender is added to the Tables pane. The new table contains all the information from the original table, including the change to the cell contents. In the Design pane, change the tabledescriptiontosayage by gender, filtered. Select the Filter pane: Figure 2-25 The Filter pane In the Filter description field, enter the text: xcludes 16 and under. This description will appear as a header in the Results pane. In the Variables pane, select the age variable: Figure 2-26 Selecting the age variable Drag the variable onto the filter area (or you can use Ctrl+Alt+F): Figure 2-27 adding a filter variable The variable is added to the Filter pane. As this is a categorical variable, a list of the categories appears to the right of the category name. To the left is a drop-down list. Select Includes none of these from the list, then select the years check box: Figure 2-28 adding a filter condition

Finally, press Ctrl+S to save the new table in the table document. Changing the Content of Rows and Columns You can change the content of individual rows and columns in the table, for example, to remove categories or create new categories based on existing ones. In this topic we will start with a table containing the age and gender variables, edit the category descriptions for the gender variable, then reduce the number of rows in the age variable by combining the existing categories into three new ones. Firstofall,createanewtableandaddage to the side and gender to the top, as shown in the Creating Crosstabulations topic. Change category descriptions On the Design pane, select the gender variable.

Finally, press Ctrl+S to save the table in the table document. Creating Profiles of Respondent Data In addition to creating tables to analyze survey data, you can also create tables that simply display the responses to one or more questions for all respondents or for selected respondents. These tables are called profile tables. Profile tables are useful for getting a quick overview of the responses in a survey. For example, you may want to get a rough idea of the distances travelled by respondents who have visited the museum several times in the past year. Create a profile table From the menu, choose Tables > New > Profile or press Ctrl+R. In the Variables pane, select the visits12 variable, and drag it into the Profile area on the Design pane: Figure 2-34 Adding a variable to a profile table In the same way, select the distance variable and add it to the profile.

37 23 Getting Started Figure 2-35 Adding visits12 and distance to a profile table Tip: You can also press Ctrl+Alt+P to add the selected variable to the profile table. Replace the default profile description with Frequent visitors. Choose the Filter tab, and click and drag the visits12 variable to the Filter area. Select is greater than or equal to from the drop-down list, and type 5 in the text box. Figure 2-36 visits12 is greater than or equal to 5 Press F5 to generate the results. The profile table shows a list of the responses to the Number of previous visits in last 12 months and Distance from home to museum questions for all respondents who have visited the museum five or more times in the last 12 months. Figure 2-37 Profile table showing responses for visits12 and distance for respondents with more than 4 visits in last 12 months To see the table exactly as shown above, change the style by choosing Color Code from the drop-down list of style sheets in the tool bar. Note that all the other tables also change to use the new style. Finally, press Ctrl+S to save the profile table in the table document.

38 24 Chapter 2 Publishing Your Results When you have finished analyzing your results you can publish them in a variety of file formats by exporting from IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Reporter. For example, you can export to a Microsoft xcel spreadsheet, Word document, or PowerPoint presentation. You can also export to an HTML file or to a plain text file. You can change the output format in various ways, depending on the type of file you are exporting to. For example, when you export to PowerPoint you can attach your own template to the slides. xport all tables to Microsoft xcel If it is not already open, open the file Museum Survey Results.mtd that you created previously. From the menu, choose: File > xport > Tables Tip: You can also choose the xport Tables button on the toolbar: Figure 2-38 xport Tables button The xport Tables dialog box appears.
