Updating Standard Reports and Thematics

To change the vintage on standard reports:

1. Launch the AnySite Configurator. Either click the AnySite Configurator icon on your desktop
or click Programs > MapInfo > AnySite XX > AnySite Configurator from the Microsoft Start menu.
Enter the default user name and password when prompted: type Administrator for the username
and leave the password blank. Usernames are case sensitive; make sure Administrator has a
capital "A".
Click OK to proceed.
2. Click Tools > Import Preferences.
3. Navigate to the ART Files folder under the AnySite installation folder (C:\Program
Files\MapInfo\AnySite_XX\Art Files for example).

a. Select the most recent .ART file. (For the most recent list of .ART files, please refer to AnySite Release
Notes at

http://www.pbinsight.com/support/product-documentation/details/anysite

)

b.

Highlight all items, and click OK.

The Configurator is updated with the new reports and thematics that correspond with the data.
c. . Repeat from step 3 for all the new/updated ART files.


Note:
A detailed electronic copy of exporting and importing preferences directions is provided on
the AnySite Installation disk under Upgrade\Documentation.

Note: For an upgrade, previously imported Standard Reports and thematics will still be visible. Please refer to the UK Re-
lease Notes at

for additional details.

Updating your Custom Reports and Thematics

It will only be necessary for you to manually update the "Verbose" descriptions on reports, thematics,
Hotspots, and Capture Methods that you have customized. The underlying demographic content
(numbers) are automatically updated by the AnySite installer, the "Verbose" descriptions (2004 Total
Population) will have to be manually altered from 2004-2005 via the Configurator.
All reports, thematics, Hotspots, and Capture Methods will continue to run successfully using the
newest content from the installer. However, without importing the updated "Standard" reports and
modifying the "verbose" descriptions on your custom reports, the printed maps and reports will
continue to display the previous data vintage.

To change the vintage on custom reports:

1. Launch the AnySite Configurator. Either click the AnySite Configurator icon on your desktop
or click Programs > MapInfo > AnySite XX > AnySite Configurator from the Microsoft
Start menu.
Enter the default user name and password when prompted: type Administrator for the username
and leave the password blank. Usernames are case sensitive, so make sure Administrator has a
capital "A".
Click OK to proceed.
2. On the Preferences menu, click Reports.
3. Select your custom report, and click Edit.
4. Select a variable and modify the verbose descriptions. Click OK when you have finished.
