When you first open a survey data file, a new blank table document (.mtd) file is created. You can use this to save the results of your analyses in table or chart format. When working on a survey, you may want to create several table documents and switch between them. For example, in the Museum sample survey, there are two main groups of respondents—those who were interviewed entering the museum and those who were interviewed leaving the museum. The two groups of respondents were asked different sets of questions. When analyzing the survey responses, you might decide to create three .mtd files—one to analyze the responses to the questions put to the first group, one to analyze the responses to the questions put to the second group, and one to analyze the responses to the questions that were put to both groups.
You can save table documents on your hard drive, on a shared drive to which you have access so that they are available to other users, or to the server.
► From menu, choose:
Note that if you are running IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Reporter via IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration, you cannot open local files. The Open command is disabled, and you can only open files from the server.
► From the menu, choose:
Note: The Survey Reporter application must be installed on the server prior to using the Open from Interviewer Server Administration feature.
► Use the Open dialog box to browse to a previously saved table document, and choose Open.
Survey Reporter opens the data survey file associated with the table document and displays any tables that have already been created.
You can also open Survey Reporter directly with a specific table document (.mtd):
► Navigate to the file using Windows Explorer and double-click the file to open Survey Reporter with that file. This automatically opens the associated survey data file, and displays any tables in the table document, as well as the variables in the associated data survey file. (
► Alternatively, if you have recently opened the file, you can reopen it directly from the menu. Choose
and select the file from the list.
► From the menu, choose
► In the Save dialog box, browse to a folder where you want to save your results.
► In the File Name field, enter a name for the file and choose Save.
When performing a Save As for a file that was opened from the server (Interviewer Server Administration), note that you can only save to the current project directory.
