To complete a full cycle of creating a query in Analysis Expert and then using the resulting data for further analysis, follow the general navigation principles described below:
1. In the initial query designer window, create a customized query that exactly corresponds to your specific criteria. From this window, you may also edit, clone, share, delete, save, and/or execute your query.
2. Once the query is executed, a new window will pop up with the results of the query displayed in the form of a grid. At this point, you may start working with your query results, which includes searching, grouping, exporting, charting, and printing them, as well as performing an internal analysis (i.e., building a visual link chart or performing calculations) of the individual records that compose the query results.
3. If you chose to chart your results, a new charting window will appear with a set of standard charting tools and an option to elaborate the design of the chart even further with the Chart Wizard tool. When your chart is complete, you may choose to print it or copy it to clipboard.
The following chapters will address the options available for each of these steps in greater detail.
