How to create a new banner in WinCross using Setup|Banners

Step 1 - Select Setup|Banners.

Step 2 - Select New to display the Add Banner dialog box.

Enter the Banner name and select OK.

Step 3 - Select Edit Banner.

Enter a Banner title if desired (optional).
Enter a Filter title if desired (optional).
Enter Filter logic if desired (optional).
Choose the Number of columns for your banner from the drop down list and select Apply.

To display the Banner title, select the Layout menu and choose to Display Banner Title Above Table Title or Display Banner Title Below Table Title. The default is Do Not Display Banner Title.

Enter the banner text for the 3 columns added by clicking in each cell and typing the desired text.

Banner text is always entered left-justified but can be centered or right-justified by highlighting the cell(s) containing the banner text and choosing Center Justify or Right Justify from the Cells menu.

To add a heading above multiple columns, you will need to add another row (or level) to the banner. Place the cursor in the cell for one of the banner columns and select Rows|Insert at Current Row.

To add a heading above multiple columns, select the desired columns by placing the cursor in the new row for one of the columns that will appear under the heading and drag the cursor to the next and subsequent columns (if applicable). Select Cells|Merge Selected Cells.

IMPORTANT: You must highlight the cells of the new row just added to Merge Selected Cells - see example below. Just highlighting the column headings (i.e. 2, 3, etc.) will not allow you to Merge Selected Cells.

Enter the desired heading in the newly merged cell. Select the Enter key after typing in "Gender" to add an underline. To center the Gender banner text over the merged cells (Male and Female), highlight the banner text and select Cells|Center Justify.

Step 4 - Enter banner logic for each banner column.

Select the Logic tab.
Highlight Column 1 in the Columns list.
Enter the banner logic for column 1 in the Banner logic for selected column field on the Logic tab.
Select Enter to enter the banner logic for Column 2 in the Columns list.
Enter the banner logic for column 2 in the Banner logic for selected column field on the Logic tab.
Continue adding banner logic for the remaining banner columns.

Step 5 - Assign weights to banner columns (optional).

Select the Weights tab.
Select the column(s) for weighting in the Columns list.
Enter the actual weight value, card/column location or variable name for the weight variable in the Weight variable field.

If you specify a card/column location/variable name rather than an actual weight and you do not have implicit decimals in the data, you must specify the number of decimals to be implied in the weight variable.

Enter the number of decimal places in the Implied decimal places in weight field. This option lets you specify the decimal place when your data variable does not include an actual decimal point.

Select the Apply to Selected Column(s) button to apply the weight entered to the selected columns.

Step 6 - Assign comparison groups for statistical testing (optional).

Select the Comparison Groups tab.
Select the column(s) for the comparison group in the Columns list.
Select the Add button to add this comparison group.

Step 7 - Apply statistical testing (optional).

IMPORTANT: Statistical testing must be selected in a banner AND selected for a table (Setup|Tables|Statistics or Setup|Globally Modify Tables|Table Statistics).

Select the Statistical Testing button.
Select the desired statistical test for Means and/or Percents.

Select the T-Test Options and/or Z-Test Options buttons to choose the confidence levels for the selected test.

Step 8 - Preview banner (optional).

Select the Preview Banner button to preview how your banner will look. You can preview how your banner will look if you are using Enhanced text reports (Run|Tables|Enhanced text) by selecting the Enhanced Text tab or how your banner will look if you are using Plain text reports (Run|Tables|Plain text) by selecting the Plain Text tab.

Select OK to close the Banner Editor - Preview Banner dialog box.
Select OK to close the Banner Editor dialog box.
Select OK to close the Setup Banners dialog box.
