Changes to the Menus in Q5

Q5 contains the largest set of changes that we have made to Q since it was originally launched. We haven't taken any functionality away, but we have moved some things around in the Create and File menus. This page contains details about the menu items that have been changed. Information about new features and name changes in Q5 can be found here.

To save a QPack file to your PC or network you may now use File > Save As and choose the Save as type to QPack Files - project and data in one compressed (*.Qpack). Options for emailing QPacks and for sending them to support are now found under File > Share.

Create Menu Changes

Banners and Tables

The options for creating tables, Basic Tables, and Smart Tables, have all moved under Create > Tables.

Traditional Multivariate Analysis

We have greatly increased the number of multivariate analysis items available in the Create menu. The items which used to be found in Create > Traditional Multivariate Analysis have now been moved to different parts of the new Create menu. We have introduced newer versions of each of these features, which you should try out:

Q4 Option (Create > Traditional Multivariate Analysis)	Q5 Option (Create Menu)	You might like to try...
Cluster Analysis	Segments > Legacy Cluster Analysis	Segments > K-Means Cluster Analysis and Segments > Save Variables
Principal Components Analysis	Dimension Reduction > Legacy PCA	Dimension Reduction > Pricipal Components Analysis and Dimension Reduction > Save Variables
Regression	Regression > Legacy Regression	Regression > Linear Regression, Ordered Logit, Multinomial Logit, etc

Segments

The segmentation tool, formerly Create > Segments has now been split into several options.

Q4 Option	Q5 Option
Form segments by splitting by individuals (latent class analysis, cluster analysis, mixture models)	This option has now been split into two different menu items: Create > Segments > Latent Class Analysis - this uses the same Objective setting as the default segmentation in Q4, which is Mixture. Create > Segments > Mixed-Mode Cluster Analysis. This uses the Objective of Clustering
Form segments by splitting by questions (tree)	Create > Classifier > Mixed-Mode Trees
