Analysis/Graph Output Manager
Go to Options button available in most dialog boxes in Statistica. Select Output on the Options menu to display the Analysis/Graph Output Manager dialog box. You can customize the current analysis/graph output management of Statistica by selecting or clearing the options in this dialog box. Note that this dialog box is identical to the Output Manager tab of the Options dialog box except for the first two options described below. Note that unless you select the Use global Output settings option button, the changes made in this dialog box only affect the current analysis or graph.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Use global Output settings (changes here will affect the global settings) | Specifies that the output management for the current analysis/graph uses the global output manager settings (specified by selecting the Output Manager tab in the Options dialog box). |
Use Output settings for this Analysis/Graph only (changes here affect this Analysis/Graph only) | Uses the Analysis/Graph Output Manager dialog box to specify the output management of the current analysis/graph. |
Place all results (Spreadsheets, Graphs) in | Use the options in this group box to specify where to place analysis spreadsheets and graphs upon clicking the OK button (or Run) in an analysis dialog box. |
Individual windows | You can have each result shown in an individual window. Note that you can select either the Individual windows or the Workbook option button; you cannot select both of them. You can, however, send results to a Report and Word document while using the Individual windows option. |
Queue length | You can enter a number in the Queue length box (or use the corresponding microscrolls) to specify the number of result windows that you want to remain on the screen. When the Individual windows option button is selected, result spreadsheets and graphs are automatically managed in separate queues on a first-in/first-out basis. You can change the depth of each queue here. Note that this option is only available when the Individual windows option button is selected |
Workbook | You can have each result shown in a workbook. Note that you can select either the Individual windows or the Workbook option button; you cannot select both of them. You can, however, send results to a Report and Word document while using the Workbook option. The Workbook option button must be selected for the next six options to be available. |
Workbook containing the datafile | You can have all results included in the same workbook as the data file. Note that if you select this option button and the data file is not included in any workbook, the results are shown in individual windows.
If the Place results in Workbook automatically check box is also selected as a part of default setting, results automatically go to the workbook containing the data file when you produce them. If the Place results in Workbook automatically check box is cleared, the results go into individual windows. Each window, however, is tagged so that when you select the option, the tagged window automatically goes to the correct workbook containing the data file and is added under the appropriate workbook folder. |
Multiple Workbooks (one for each Analysis/Graph) | You can have the results from an analysis/graph included in a separate workbook for each analysis/graph. |
Single Workbook (common for all Analyses/Graph) | You can have all results included together in one workbook regardless of the analysis/graph being produced. |
Existing Workbook | You can have all results sent to an existing workbook specified in the corresponding field. If a workbook has not previously been specified using the Browse button, the standard Open dialog box is displayed when you select this option button. |
Browse | Displays the standard Open dialog box, in which you can locate and specify an existing workbook. |
Place results in Workbook automatically | Select this check box to have all results included in a workbook automatically. |
New results go to top | Select this check box to place each new result as the first child of each folder in the workbook. |
Report Output | You can use this drop-down list to select the type of report to use when sending analysis and graph results to a report. The remaining options pertain to the use and display of the output report window. They determine what type of report is used and what amount of information is included in it. Note that this check box must be selected for the remaining options to be available. |
Off | Select this option if you do not want to send results to a report window. |
Multiple Reports (one for each Analysis/Graph) | You can have the results from an analysis/graph included in a separate report for each analysis/graph. |
Single Report (common for all Analyses/Graph) | You can have all results included together in one report regardless of the analysis/graph being produced. |
[Select File] | You can have all results sent to an existing report specified using the adjacent Browse button. |
Browse | Displays the standard Open dialog box, in which you can locate and open an existing Report. |

Multiple Word documents (one for each analysis/graph) | Select this command to include the results from an analysis or graph in a separate Word document for each analysis or graph. |
Common Word document (one shared for all analyses/graphs) | Select this command to include all results in one Word document together regardless of the analysis and graph being produced. |
[Select File] | Select this command to send all results to an existing Word document specified using the adjacent Browse button. |
Browse | Displays the standard Open dialog box, in which you can locate and open an existing Word document. |
Send Spreadsheets to Word as objects | Select this check box to embed spreadsheets as objects when they are sent to Word documents. Embedded objects are active, customizable, and in-place editable, meaning that when you double-click an embedded spreadsheet, the Statistica spreadsheet menus and toolbars are merged with the Word toolbars and menus enable you to edit the spreadsheet as if it were open in Statistica . When this check box is cleared, spreadsheets are included in the document as a Word table. |
Supplementary detail | You can select the amount of supplementary information to be included in the report. |
None | No supplementary information is included in the report. |
Brief | You can select the most economical output style, to include only the contents of the selected spreadsheets (no page headers, job headers, or any information about the variables or conditions specified for the analyses is output). |
Medium | Includes the page header (name of the module, date/time, page number), current data file name, information on Case Selection Conditions and Case Weights (if any are specified), the Output Header, the spreadsheet contents, a list of (short) names of all variables selected for each analysis, and missing data values. |
Long | Includes all information in addition to the spreadsheet from the Medium format and, additionally, the long variable labels (formulas), reserving one line of output for each variable. |
Comprehensive | Provides the most comprehensive information on each variable selected for analysis. In addition to all information included in the Long report format, it also includes a complete list for each selected variable of all its double values, that is, values that have both numeric and text components, and values that have value labels. |
