If you need help setting up some or all of a PASW Data Collection project, we can help. Our experience runs across the board, from interview set up through to data management scripting, tables and report delivery. We can prepare anything from a simple interview with standard tables, through to complex processing systems providing real-time results.

Our services include:

• Survey setups for Interviewing Server
• Data management scripting
• Data processing and tabulation setups for Professional Table Scripting
• Automated processing systems, from data capture to reporting
• PASW reporting tools such as dashboards, word clouds and verbatim viewers
• Specialist survey questions using images such as hot-spots and product shelves
• Reporting systems to generate Excel and Powerpoint
• Interactive portals

Whatever your requirement, it’s likely we’ve tackled it, or something similar. And if not, our team has the experience to handle it.

If you would like more information, or wish to discuss your requirements please contact Allan Shaw.

We have been running market research software training for many years, using trainers who spend all their time working with the products they’re teaching. Because we’re an independent company, we’re not ashamed to show you the problems you may encounter, as well as the getarounds, so that you can become productive as quickly as possible.

We currently offer PASW training for:

• Setting up and running surveys using IOM (Interview Object Model) scripting in Professional
• Data processing, data management and tabulation using TOM (Table Object Model) scripting in Professional
• Reports for Surveys

We also run training courses in Quantum and Quanvert.

If you would like to discuss your training requirements please contact Allan Shaw.

TOMPager is aimed at PASW Data Collection users who want to produce paginated tables from Professional Tables (mrStudio), Reports for Surveys (Desktop Reporter) and mrScriptBasic. Standard output from PASW is in the form of single logical tables, so long banners or side headings need to be manually split or shrunk to fit on printable pages. TOMPager emulates the functionality of Quantum tables output, breaking long or wide tables into user-definable page-size sections. The resulting ASCII tables can then be formatted in Winyaps or other tables processors such as E-tabs.

TOMPager is a PASW plug-in so integrates directly into the PASW product suite.

Key benefits include:

• Fully paginated tables, similar to Quantum output
• Banners evenly split across pages improving aesthetics while minimising page count
• Banner texts evenly split in columns for improved appearance and readability
• Handles all PASW tables including complex nesting
• Wide array of options for total control of layout
• Fast - 2000 pages output per minute on a typical desktop PC
Tables compatible with Winyaps for powerful formatting
• Works in all PASW tables applications, both scripted and GUI

Page formatting options include:

• Page width and length
• Width for side headings
• Minimum and maximum column width
• Double spacing of rows
• Indenting of rows within nets
• Simple pagination (overrides smart pagination where banners are split evenly across pages)
• Split column text at ! and | characters
• Repeat row variable headings when split over a page

TOMPager outputs plain ASCII tables which can be formatted and distributed using Winyaps. For more information on Winyaps follow this link.

If you would like a demo on one of your projects, or would like to trial TOMPager for 30 days please contact Allan Shaw or tompager@cobalt-sky.com.
