Setup|Glossary Variables|Save Data As

Use Save Data As if you want to change your data file based on the statements you have entered in the Glossary Variables dialog box. A data file must be open to activate the Save Data As button.

You can choose from the following options for saving your data file:

To a Local Destination

Saves your data file to a local or network folder of your choice.
You can choose from the Recent folders dropdown list to locate a desired folder.
If you want to manually enter a filename, click anywhere within the File name: field and type the name. You will need to include the full filepath if you want the data file to reside in a folder other than that displayed.

To TAG Drive (For new customers and customers in the WinCross annual maintenance program)

Allows you to save your data file to our TAG Drive. TAG Drive is a cloud-based file storage feature of the TAG Client Portal and allows you to open and save files that are accessible from anywhere. This can be especially helpful if you are traveling or working from home and do not have access to your network drives from outside of the office.

From the menus on the TAG Drive tab, you can:

Groups

Rename Group - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive group by entering a new group name.
Delete Group - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive group. The projects under that group are moved to the Ungrouped Projects group.

Projects

Add New Project - lets you create a new project for TAG Drive that is accessible from anywhere. Job, data and report files can then be saved to the new project.
Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename Project - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive project by entering a new project name.
Delete Project - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive project. Delete Project will delete all files for that project. The project and its files will no longer be available to other users with whom the project has been shared.

Files

Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename File - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive file by entering a new file name.
Delete File - lets you delete existing TAG Drive files from the selected project. The files will no longer be available to other users with whom that project has been shared.

Refresh Lists - refreshes the list of TAG Drive Project groups/Projects/Files.

Filename

Enter a name for your output data file or select an existing file from the File(s) list.
You can save the changes to the open data file.
You will be prompted with a message explaining that the original data file will be backed up with a *.bak# extension added (with # = to a number, for example, example.sav.bak1 is the first backup file created for the original data file of example.sav).
The newly saved data file will automatically reopen in WinCross.
You have the option of continuing by selecting Yes or cancelling the save by selecting No.
The Save Data As dialog box displays the names of current data files and current folders.

File type

Files can only be saved to the same format as the input data file. Use File|Save|Save Data As if you need to save the data file to a new format.

Records per case

You must specify the records per case that you want to write to the new file.
Records per case displays the totals for the open file.
Enter the number that is correct for the original data file in the Records per case field.
Records that were added using the ADDREC command should not be included in this number.

Note: When using variable type data files, Records per case is not applicable.

Cases to write

You must specify the number of cases that you want to write to the new file.
Cases to write displays the totals for the open file.
Enter the number of cases you want to write in the revised data file in the Cases to write field.

Filter logic

You must specify the Filter logic (filter is used synonymously with base) for the revised data file.
Only cases that meet the filter will be included in the file.
The default filter is the number specified in the Cases to write field (representing the total number of cases) and ‘TN’ is displayed as the Filter logic to indicate ‘total.’
You can specify more restrictive Filter logic.
