Data Viewer 7.0 Logic helper
Posted: May 10th, 2020, 9:31 am
First of all, congratulations, the new data viewer now is amazingly fast! I used to reformat my big records to look at the most important ones, but this not necessary anymore.
The listing options and the case options are very handy, just what I needed.
But (there is always a but...)
1. I was looking at the records, and then tried the Logic Helper. No problem, and now we have two windows in the window tab (plus the Data summary window). In the windows tab, if I click in the case I was looking into, it is shown, no problem either. But if I return to the case list and click in questionnaire, it is showing always the Logic helper window, I have to return to the Window tab to show the case. And there is no way I can close the Logic Helper window.
2. The list of recent files (I think) is updated only when the program is closed, or even worse, when closing CSPRO, because it does not reflect the last opened files (in my case it shows just one file, which was the first file I opened with data viewer).
3. In the Tools tab to execute a frequency, if the dictionary is very big it takes some time to open the dictionary tree.
4. And finally, something I asked sometime ago, I cannot have a frequency of the record type. It is useful to know how many records of each type is in the database. The record tye variable could be shown in the tree with the Id variables, as in the data dictionary editor. Sorry, I´ll keep reminding you about that.
But (another but), as I said before, these are minor things, I loved this new version.
