Dialog options

Dialog options allow you to adjust the Variables dialog box. You can determine which variable details you want to view, how the values of variables should be expressed, and how the variables should be sorted.

Variables

The Variables options allow you to select which properties of variables you want to view.

  • The Show value type column option allows you to select whether you want to include a column identifying the value type (number, string, or column) in the Variables dialog box.

  • The Show attributes column option allows you to select whether you want to include a column identifying the attributes (temporary, hidden, or promoted) of the variable in the Variables dialog box.
Tip: Having the Show attributes column option selected can be helpful when you try to find out why a particular calculation is not working correctly.

Values

The Values options allow you to define the format and decimal places which you want to use when defining the values of variables.

  • The Format option allows you to select the format in which the values are viewed. For more information on result formats, see Result formats.

  • The Decimal places option allows you to determine to how many decimal places the values are viewed.

Sorting

The Sorting options allow you to determine whether Tedds takes into account the case and formatting of variable names in the Variables dialog box.

  • The Ignore case option allows you to determine that Tedds considers variable names such as B and b the same variable.

  • The Ignore formatting (Greek/superscript/subscript) option allows you to determine that Tedds considers variable names such as B1 and B1 the same variable.
