Sort order and Loop mode

In the case of theDimension collection, it is advisable to operate with a paradigmatic example to explain the use of theLoop modeand theSort orderin the mapping: Comparison of theFocus unitwith theLevel-up comparison unit. You define theSort orderfor theDimension collectionon the sub-navigation fieldDataunder the tabExtrasusing the following path, for example:

Unit>Focus unit>Collection member>Average

Another project parameter that you define is theascendingordescendingsorting. You choosedescending. You save them. For mapping on the sub-navigation fieldPages, this means that the sorting in the background is effective and that the values of theLevel-up comparison unitare sorted in relation to this sequence. After activating theLoop mode, you select theDimension collectionand use the following paths to compare theFocus unitwith the next higher unit.

For theFocus unit, you pick:

Collection member → Units → Focus unit → Average

For theLevel-up comparison unit, you select:

Collection member → Units → Comparison unit → Internal comparison → Level-up comparison unit → Average

Information

To avoid any irritation that may be caused by the fact that the mean values of the level-up comparison unit are not sorted in descending order, note: The values of the level-up comparison unit are set in relation to the sorting of the mean values of the focus unit. The level-up comparison unit values are output according to the order of the focus unit. The values that can be compared with each other are thus in a row.

In the case of theUnit collection, however, this example cannot be retained. as the project parameters change. You define a sort order for the unit collection with the intention of sorting the members of this collection by result type in relation to a question or dimension item.

A possible picker path is:

Unit → Collection member → Dimension → [selected Dimension] → Average

A sample sorting is:(M) Collection member (D) I would recommend People Company to friends (R) Average

In this case, the sorting is also carried out in descending order. Then save your entries. On the sub-navigation fieldPages, activate theLoop modeand select the created unit collection as collection. In a column, click onCreate mappingand map in the same way as theSort orderof theUnit collection.

You pick:

Collection member → Dimension → [selected Dimension] → Average

A sample mapping is:(D) I would recommend People Company to friends (R) Average

In a new column, select a dimension other than that selected in the sort order in the Inspector, so that the values for the unit collection members are sorted according to theSort order, but the values are output for this dimension.

You pick:

Collection member → Dimension → [another selected Dimension] → Average

Unit collection	I would recommendPeople Companyto friends	Senior leaders are sufficiently visible atPeople Company
Focus unit	3,5	2,5
Fixed unit	2,5	3,7
Level-up	2,0	3,0

The sample mapping is:(D) Senior leaders are sufficiently visible at People Company (R) Average

The following can be said for the sample report: TheFocus unitsare sorted in descending order according to the average value of the question “I would recommend People Company to friends“. In the second column the averages of the question “Senior leaders are sufficiently visible at People Company“ are output for eachFocus unitof theUnit collection.

Information

Both the dimension and unit collections are iterated either via the row or the column. If you useRowsas the value for the loop mode tag, the values are filled row by row into the cells (one below the other). If you useColumnsas the value for theLoop modetag, the values column by column are set next to each other.

Continuation with Dimension

In addition to the mapping elements for result types and unit properties, with which the path is immediately valid, the element Dimension allows you to continue the picker path. You take the direction of the question text and the dimension value to continue yout path. To refer the selected unit to the question texts or existing dimension values of your survey, proceed as follows.

You pick:

Unit → [unit element] → Dimension → [question/dimension item]

You continue with result types orScale:

N
Return
Average
Standard deviation
Standard deviation (sample)
Maximum Response Code
Minimum Response Code
Range
Sum
Median
Modus
Square Distribution
First Quartile
Third Quartile
Interquartile Range
Explicit missings
Return rate
Scale

Continue with result types, the term immediately valid.

To continue withScale, you clickhere.

Continuation with Scale

The path does not have to end after you have decided on a question or a dimension item. The elementScaleprovides you with a continuation option so that you move on the path which you have already continued withDimension. Therefor you pick an item x of the scale property or a result type.

By means of this branching, your results achieve an accuracy, because you not only take the questions into account, as is possible with the continuation by question or dimensional expression, but also evaluate the answer page in a differentiated way.

You pick:

Unit → [Unit element] → Dimension → [Question text/Dimension item] → Scale → [Scale item]

You continue with scale properties and result types:

Label

N as percent

If you continue with a scale property or a result type, the term is immediately valid.

Another branching is not possible.

Continuation with Unit

Both as a starting element for cell mapping and inLoop mode, the path for theDimension collectionrequires a continuation withUnit. To do this, select the desired element fromFixed unit,Focus unit,Comparison unitandDataspace Entities.

You pick for the cell mapping:

Collection → [Dimension collection] → Item x → Units → [Unit element]

You select a Dimension collection in theLoop mode. In the new column, you select:

Collection member>Units> [Unit element]

You continue with the result types orScale:

Information

To be able to map the scale element at this point, you must define a scale for the dimension collection in the sub-navigation fieldDataunder the tabExtras.

Filter

You use filters in theReport Managerin various places. A first opportunity to use the feature is offered during mapping. They provide each cell of the mappable shapes with a filter. When you order reports, you also set up filters. The second step in the order process is not only to define the members of theComparison group, but also to set up a filter for each member of the group.Virtual comparison unitsalso receive a filter. A global one that applies to the entire report is encountered in the third ordering step.

Available filters

The following filters are preset and can be used for mapping filtering, global filtering, and filteringvirtual comparison units:

Tester
Language
Dispositioncode
Gender

The filter selection for theconditional reportuses unit properties as filters to determineFocus units:

Label
Metaname
View_ID
Level
Response_anon

Mapping filters

Each filter variable has inherent branches that you use for further specifications.

These are connected by the non-exclusive OR, which is not represented by an element. For example, if you choose the filter variableGender, you select the options:Not available,male,female. In contrast, the different filter variables are linked by the logical AND, which is also not represented by an element. The following syntax is hidden behind the filter elements in the mapping, which are only apparently placed side by side without connections:Gender-maleORGender-femaleORGender-not availableANDDispositioncode-Not yet invitedORDispositioncode-ActiveANDTester-No tester. Just as the filter variables cannot be linked to each other with OR, you cannot combine the specifications with an AND.

Tiny DSQ

Tiny DSQ enables a clearer representation of the data space queries stored in the shape cells. However, their location is not limited to mapping. Tiny DSQ is also used for creating DSEs and collections. Noteworthy for deciphering the abbreviated picker paths are the letter icons and the color scheme. This is based on the syntax and allows you to recognize dependencies between the elements. The property icon is colored according to the element whose properties are queried.

Settings	Description
Short description	You use the text box to write a short description for your report containing one hundred characters. By hovering over the information icon this message appears at the bottom left of the tile and on the corresponding tile on the selection page.
Report type	By means of a silde switch you can set for which report type the report type is used.
File formats	You switch PPTX and PDF on and/or off as a selectable file formats for the last step of the report order process.
Language	You select a language in order to translate the survey phrases of the report to be created.
File name	For the filename of the report, you can enter placeholder in the text field in addition to an individual name. You click onNote about report filenameand a list of possible placeholders opens.

Settings	Description
Unit selection	You specifiy the maximum number of subunits from which the virtual units are to consist. Ths setting only applies to theAd hoc Report.
Comparison groups	You add comparison units that are activated via the on/off slide switch. The comparison group to be named can then be selected in the inspector. The minimum and maximum of the units to be allocated when ordering the report is also definied here. You can also activate the virtual comparison units by means of the slide switch. The comparison groups can be interchanged by dragging and dropping with the arrow cross or they can be deleted clicking on the delete icon. You add further comparison groups.
Filtering	Activation applies to the report order. You can use it to enable filtering for both virtual comparison units and globally for the entire report. It is filtered in addition to the filters set in the inspector under the sub-navigation fieldPages.

Settings	Description
Label for suppressed values	The selected label is set for the values suppressed on the basis of the anonymity criterion.
Label for non existent values	For values that are not available like the level-up units of the root unit, the label you have selected is set.
Number format	The setting is achtivated via on/off slide switch. You specify the number of decimal places to round to. Separators, dot or comma, are set individually to match the language setting. For example, if you choose German as the language for your report, use the comma as the decimal separator and the dot as the thousands digit.
