View options

Use the options in the View tab to specify how Analytics displays views.

Hide Filtered Records

When the Hide Filtered Records option is on, filtered tables display only those records that are included by the filter.

If this option is turned off, filtered tables continue to display all records and records excluded by the filter are highlighted.

Show Grid Lines

When this option is on, grid lines are displayed in views.

Test Column Widths

When this option is on and you change the width of a column, Analytics prompts you to save or discard your work when you close a view.

If you turn this option off and the only changes to a view are column width changes, the changes are discarded.

Show Right Edge of Page

When this option is on, Analytics displays a dotted line in the view to indicate the right margin. The margin is based on the print setup options for the report.

Display Invalid Data as Blanks or Zeros

When this option is off, Analytics accepts all invalid characters in a field.

If you turn this option on, Analytics replaces invalid character data with blanks and invalid numeric data with zeros, from the first invalid character to the end of the field. This option affects all fields except text fields: Analytics automatically replaces invalid data with blanks in text fields.

The Display Invalid Data as Blanks or Zeros option is most useful with variable-length data files, because it allows Analytics to correctly display them.

Changes to this setting are recorded in the log using the following syntax:

SET CLEAN {ON|OFF}

Redraw Seconds

This option displays the maximum amount of time in seconds that Analytics takes to redraw the view. If redrawing takes longer than the specified amount of time, Analytics interrupts processing and displays a message. The maximum you can specify is 100 seconds. The default time is 10 seconds.

You may need to increase the redraw time when using restrictive filters that select very few records, especially when working with very large files. When you increase the redraw time, you may have to wait longer to view the data. To reduce the waiting time, turn off the Hide Filtered Records option.

Global Page Title

Whatever you enter in this text box will appear, left justified, under the page number at the top of each page you print. You can choose to leave this box blank.

Authorized group licensed versions of Analytics have customer-specified text in the Global Page Title which cannot be modified.
