WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.610 (No audio) 2 00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:10.090 Speaker: We will cover an important feature of the table builder in the section 3 00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:13.910 saving and loading custom dimensions, and table definitions. 4 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.300 To illustrate this feature, i'll first create a table. 5 00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:23.100 I'm selecting the survey of Doctorate recipients, 6 00:00:23.110 --> 00:00:30.240 (Silence) 7 00:00:30.250 --> 00:00:34.170 and adding the weighted count measure to the table. 8 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.300 Next, I'm adding the job satisfaction dimension... 9 00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:46.560 (Silence) 10 00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:48.960 To the rules of the table. 11 00:00:48.970 --> 00:00:54.840 Suppose the job satisfaction data has more detail than we need for our purposes. 12 00:00:54.850 --> 00:00:59.870 We simply care whether the respondents had positive or negative views of their job situations. 13 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:08.550 For that reason we will combine the very satisfied and somewhat satisfied field labels into one, 14 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.990 and do the same with the somewhat dissatisfied and very dissatisfied labels. 15 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.880 We can accomplish that by creating a custom dimension from the original job satisfaction dimension. 16 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.660 Let's navigate the dimension on the left side panel... 17 00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:30.390 (Silence) 18 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.190 Click on the dimension name. 19 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.080 This opens another slide-out with the field labels. 20 00:01:40.090 --> 00:01:46.540 Click on the customize button to begin creating custom categories for the dimension. 21 00:01:47.990 --> 00:01:50.080 First enter a name... 22 00:01:50.090 --> 00:01:53.820 (Silence) 23 00:01:53.830 --> 00:01:57.150 jobsat underscore custom for the custom dimension, 24 00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:01.590 Next, I want to add categories to the custom dimension. 25 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.120 To do that, click on the add categories button. 26 00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:10.630 In the category label field, enter the name of the first category. 27 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:14.320 My first category is Satisfied. 28 00:02:14.330 --> 00:02:19.070 (Silence) 29 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.920 and includes the field labels Somewhat Satisfied and Very Satisfied. 30 00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:31.790 Click on the check boxes next to these field labels and click on... 31 00:02:33.010 --> 00:02:35.200 Add category to create the first category. 32 00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:40.480 To create the second category, Click on the Add Categories button again, 33 00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:45.230 And enter the category name Dissatisfied. 34 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:53.960 (Silence) 35 00:02:53.970 --> 00:03:00.950 Click on the check boxes next to Somewhat Dissatisfied and Very Dissatisfied 36 00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:05.000 and click the add category button. 37 00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:14.000 we won't add logical skips to our (jumbled), logical skips of the different (jumbled) patterns in the survey questionnaire. 38 00:03:14.010 --> 00:03:16.830 As an example, if a person is unemployed, 39 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.400 they would be asked to skip the question about job satisfaction. 40 00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:27.780 Now that we have the categories we want, Let's go ahead and click real custom, dimension. 41 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:33.530 What this does, is make the custom dimension available 42 00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:38.160 As a new variable in the left side panel. 43 00:03:38.170 --> 00:03:42.920 (Silence) 44 00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:48.170 The (jumbled) add the custom dimension to the rules of the table. 45 00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:53.900 (Silence) 46 00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:59.000 Note that at this point if you reload the browser Or navigate to a different survey, 47 00:03:59.010 --> 00:04:02.070 You will lose the custom dimension that you created. 48 00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:07.000 To save this new custom dimension for future use, 49 00:04:07.010 --> 00:04:12.140 Click on the Save/Open button on the left side panel. 50 00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:16.310 This brings up a window with several options. 51 00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:24.920 Click on save dimension to save your custom dimension to a downloaded file. 52 00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:29.570 You can also click on your custom dimensions link 53 00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:34.750 to see a preview of the custom dimensions That are currently on the left side panel. 54 00:04:36.410 --> 00:04:38.840 Let's go ahead and close this window. 55 00:04:38.850 --> 00:04:41.540 Now, I am going to reload the browser. 56 00:04:41.550--> 00:04:46.200 (Silence) 57 00:04:46.210--> 00:04:49.120 Navigate to the job satisfaction dimension. 58 00:04:49.130--> 00:04:52.440 (Silence) 59 00:04:52.450-> 00:04:57.890 And show you that the custom dimension is no longer present on the left side panel. 60 00:05:00.120-> 00:05:04.040 If I want to reuse the custom dimension that I previously saved, 61 00:05:04.050-> 00:05:10.650 all I need to do is go to the Save/Open button 62 00:05:10.660-> 00:05:13.100 And click on Open Dimension. 63 00:05:15.690-> 00:05:20.410 Navigate to... 64 00:05:20.420-> 00:27.66 The local folder that has the saved custom dimension and click Open. 65 00:05:29.800-> 00:05:35.500 You see a success message when your custom dimension is loaded to the left side panel. 66 00:05:35.510-> 00:05:42.580 Let's make the table again by adding the weighted count measure, and the custom dimensions that I just loaded. 67 00:05:42.590-> 00:05:57.930 (Silence) 68 00:05:57.940-> 00:06:03.100 To edit or delete a custom dimension, first make sure to remove it from the table, 69 00:06:04.940-> 00:06:08.970 then navigate to the custom dimension on the left side panel, 70 00:06:08.980-> 00:06:14.300 (Silence) 71 00:06:14.310-> 00:06:18.670 And click on Edit,

00:06:26.750-> 00:06:32.390 add, update, delete categories, and also delete custom dimensions. 75 00:06:32.400-> 00:06:37.410 (Silence) 76 00:06:37.420-> 00:06:41.710 Next I'm going to show you how to save table definitions to a file 77 00:06:41.720-> 00:06:45.190 and later upload that file to reproduce the table, 78 00:06:45.200-> 00:06:49.100 perhaps for the purposes of continuing work in progress, 79 00:06:49.110-> 00:06:51.750 or to share your table definitions with others. 80 00:06:53.280-> 00:06:58.620 We will use the Save/Open button as we did before for the custom dimensions. 81 00:06:58.630-> 00:07:03.430 Let's clear this table and create a new table, 82 00:07:03.440-> 00:07:07.140 (Silent) 83 00:07:07.150-> 00:07:12.790 I'm adding the weighted count measure to the table, 83 00:07:12.800-> 00:07:19.030 Next I'm navigating to the location topic. 84 00:07:19.040-> 00:07:23.240 and adding the dimension Living in U.S. during reference week 85 00:07:23.250-> 00:07:29.510 And selecting only those residing in the U.S. during the reference week 86 00:07:31.930-> 00:07:33.780 to the column of the table. 87 00:07:33.790-> 00:07:39.760 (Silence) 88 00:07:39.770-> 00:07:43.780

00:08:06.150-> 00:08:09.900 Next, click Save Table. 94 00:08:09.910-> 00:08:14.720 The system downloads a file on your personal device 95 00:08:14.730-> 00:08:18.680 with the definitions that allow the table to be reproduced at a later time. 96 00:08:18.690-> 00:08:18.680 The information in the downloaded file 97 00:08:18.690-> 00:08:22.100 The information in the downloaded file 98

columns and rows. 100 00:08:31.950-> 00:08:38.370 The downloaded file has the default naming convention NCSES underscore collection 101 00:08:38.380-> 00:08:43.170 underscore the survey acronym, underscore the date and time stamp. 102 00:08:43.180-> 00:08:45.880 I am now going to clear the table, 103 00:08:45.890-> 00:08:52.820 so I can show you how to open the table definitions that have just been saved. 104 00:08:52.830-> 00:08:56.580 Once I click Clear Table, all left panel selections are cleared 105 00:08:56.590-> 00:08:58.270 and the table area is blank. 106 00:08:58.280->

valid, 114 00:09:37.940-> 00:09:44.210 you see a pop up window with a preview of the measures and dimensions 115 00:09:46.200-> 00:09:51.030 click on open, and the system applies the table definition to the left side panel 116 00:09:51.040-> 00:09:54.080 and builds the table. 117 00:09:54.090-> 00:09:58.140 (Silent) 118 00:09:58.150-> 00:09:58.140 That concludes the demo of the Save/Open feature
