Data window toolbar

When the toolbar is displayed at the top of the Data window, each icon has a tool tip to describe its function.

[Move up to previous questionnaire]

Selecting this toolbar icon allows you to access the questionnaire (record) prior to the one currently displayed at the screen. For example, if you had entered the questionnaires in serial number order and serial 345 was currently displayed, selecting [Move up to previous questionnaire] changes the display so you are able to view serial number 344.

[Move down to next questionnaire]

This toolbar icon allows you to access the next questionnaire in your current list of questionnaires. For example, if you had entered the questionnaires in serial number order and serial 345 was currently displayed, selecting [Move down to next questionnaire] changes the display so you are able to view serial number 346.

[Add new questionnaire]

The [Add new questionnaire] toolbar icon allows you to enter data (questionnaire information) into the current Data file.  This is used to enter data.

[Verify questionnaire]

This toolbar icon allows you to verify the information from a questionnaire which is held in the current Data file. You must select the serial number of the record you wish to verify and then re-enter the data from the questionnaire. QPSMR will display all discrepancies between this input and the first as they occur, and you may choose to accept the original responses, or the new ones, as appropriate. See section Verify data.

[Update questionnaire]

This icon allows you to update the information from a questionnaire which is held in the current Data file. You must select the serial number of the questionnaire you wish to update and then make your modifications as appropriate. For more information see section Update data.

[Move up to previous entry]

Selecting this icon causes the entry prior to the one currently shown to be displayed at the screen. Entries which have been skipped, because filters have been applied to them, will not be available for display.

[Move down to next entry]

Selecting this icon causes the entry which is listed immediately after the one currently shown to be displayed at the screen. Entries which will be skipped, because filters have been applied to them, will not be available for display.

[Move to fresh entry]

Selecting this icon causes the next available entry, which does not currently hold data, to be displayed at the screen.

[Save changes to questionnaire]

This icon allows you to save all of the changes you have made to the questionnaire (record) currently displayed at the screen.

[Abandon changes to questionnaire]

This icon allows you to abandon (permanently discard) all of the changes you have made to the questionnaire (record) currently displayed at the screen.

[View options]

Selecting the [View options] icon allows you to alter the appearance of the Data window, by making selections from the "View options for data" dialog box. You can choose to include or to remove:

You can also change the fonts used by the program for question and response texts and also for other information which appears on screen. From the "View options for data" dialog box it is possible to request that the responses to each question be displayed on screen until the next question is selected, to not accept blank (skipped) responses and to control how blank responses are recognised. It is also possible to select which entry should be displayed first during "Update data".

[Help for this window]

This icon displays help relevant to the current QPSMR window.

[Help contents]

Clicking this icon causes the "Contents" section of the on-screen help to be displayed.
