Finding your way around the Selection window

One of the most important parts of the main window is the Selection window. Here are 2 views:

Selection only

Selectiom window

 

Selection Book

Selection workbook

 

The selection window is made of the following elements:

A Name text box

This text box allows you to easily change the name of either the selection or the currently visible analysis page. For example, in the second image, this text box displays the name of the Chart being displayed.

B Build button

This button is used to perform a count of a selection or to perform whatever analysis has been specified. By clicking on the down arrow to the right of the play button you can choose which part of the analysis (which "Page") to build, or to rebuild all pages.

C Toolbar All other tools are placed next to the build button. These will be specific to the particular analysis page being displayed.
D Selection tree This is the part of the selection window that is used to build up a selection by dragging on variables, etc.
E Variable windows These windows let you pick which parts of a variable are to be included in the selection.
F Count This shows the number of records that are included in the selection and that have been analysed by any analysis pages.
G Progress bar and status box

The progress bar and status box show what operations are being performed by the FastStats server when the play button is pressed.

H Workbook page tabs

These tabs allow you to choose which page should be displayed (an analysis or visualisation page, or the selection).
