How to Use Explore Mode

Explore mode allows the user to explore the data and save the outputs for future use. Viewers of a published document can Explore existing charts and tables or create their own. 

• A Document published as a Webpage. 
• Access to the Document. 
• Enabled Explore Mode, see: How to Enable Explore Mode 
• A Displayr account and login details are only required if you wish to save your Explore Mode work in future sessions.

Method

1. Open the published Document and click on the Explore button.
    
2. Select Create Table or click on an existing table or chart on the Page. 
   Note: Statistical analyses and items created using the Visualization menu are not available to explore (e.g., MaxDiff). 
   
   When you select Create Table, Displayr will create a table showing the breakdown for the first available variable in the data set. If you select an existing table and chart, Displayr will open a new page showing the selected output. 
   
3. Create the desired output by using options from the seven menus as detailed below.

Explore

• The Copy and Delete buttons allow you to copy or delete your existing table/chart output. You can also use the Copy button to create a new table.
• The Name field is the reference name of the table/chart you've created. This can be altered as needed.

These two drop-down menus allow you to select the questions (variable sets) you wish to show in your table/chart. 

The first drop-down corresponds to table rows and the second drop-down to columns.
