Web report options

A web report is an interactive document that is compatible with most browsers. Many of the interactive features of pivot tables available in the Viewer are also available in web reports.

Report Title. The title that is displayed in the header of the report. By default, the file name is used. You can specify a custom title to use instead of the file name.

Format. There are two options for report format:

  • SPSS Web Report (HTML 5). This format requires a browser that is compatible with HTML 5.
  • Cognos Active Report (mht). This format requires a browser that supports MHT format files or the Cognos Active Report application.

Exclude Objects. You can exclude selected object types from the report:

  • Text. Text objects that are not logs. This option includes text objects that contain information about the active dataset.
  • Logs. Text objects that contain a listing of the command syntax that was run. Log items also include warnings and error messages that are encountered by commands that do not produce any Viewer output.
  • Notes Tables. Output from statistical and charting procedures includes a Notes table. This table contains information about the dataset that was used, missing values, and the command syntax that was used to run the procedure.
  • Warnings and Error Messages. Warnings and error messages from statistical and charting procedures.

Restyle the tables and charts to match the Web Report. This option applies the standard web report style to all tables and charts. This setting overrides any fonts, colors, or other styles in the output as displayed in the Viewer. You cannot modify the standard web report style.

Web Server Connection. You can include the URL location of one or more application servers that are running the IBM® SPSS® Statistics Web Report Application Server. The web application server provides features to pivot tables, edit charts, and save modified web reports.

  • Select Use for each application server that you want to include in the web report.
  • If a web report contains a URL specification, the web report connects to that application server to provide the additional editing features.
  • If you specify multiple URLs, the web report attempts to connect to each server in the order in which they are specified.
