Setup|Banners

 

Setup|Banners lets you add a new banner, create banners from tables, edit existing banners, specify statistical testing and preview banners.

 

Setup|Tables describes how to define tables, rows and their filters. Run|Tables details how banners and tables are combined to run reports. You can run tables even if you have not created banners. A default banner with a single total column automatically runs against the tables.

 

To experiment using Setup|Banners, choose File|Open|Open job, then select EXAMPLE-VARIABLE.JOB (installed with WinCross).
