Viewing The Screen Formatted Data Table

The Screen Formatted Data Table enables you to look at the results of the execution of all of the sessions in a study on the computer screen. It is opened from within the All-Sessions Index Table by clicking on the first of the three links:
  • View all sessions as a single data table  
  • Download Comma Delimited (RxC) Results File.  
  • Download Results File Using a Delimiter of Your Choice

    The Screen Formatted Data Table is a standard data table in which rows represent sessions (runs, cases, subjects, respondents) and columns represent variables (which are the results of events specified in the protocol).  

    In this table, the first column contains the session ID (number) and the top row contains the "variable labels" assigned to events in the Composer/Editor.  If these labels are not provided during protocol construction, ProtoGenie assigns them the number of the column in which they reside.

    The Screen Formatted Data Table cannot be edited. It can be saved as an HTML file by going to the top menu of your browser and clicking on Save.  But, the preferable format for storing, printing, and/or manipulating the data is one of the data file downloading options (above).  The Screen Formatted Data Table cannot be printed for offline perusal.  However, either of the data file downloading options (above) eventuate in a data file that can be displayed and printed.  In other words, the Screen Formatted Data Table is really only a read-only temporary screen for preliminary examination.  

    To edit and save a data file of session results for storage, recoding, printing, and data analysis you must download a  specially formatted data file from the database in the ProtoGenie server.  This is done by clicking on the second or third of the links (above) on the All-Sessions Index Page.
