Using the Nesstar WebView Help System:
These Help pages are designed to guide you through the main components of Nesstar WebView to enable you to take full advantage of the functions that are available. For information on how to interprete the results of any analysis performed, e.g. a cross-tabulation or regression analysis, please consult appropriate resources containing information on data analysis or statistics.

'Help' can be accessed at any time by clicking Help at the top right of the screen. The pages are context sensitive so by clicking the 'Help' icon after selecting 'Tabulation', the 'Manipulate tables' information will be displayed. You can also use the menu on the left to go directly to another page, or you can view pages in sequence using the 'next' and 'previous' buttons at the top and bottom of each page.

If you have queries that cannot be resolved by referring to these Help pages, or by consulting your local support, please send an email to nesstar-support@nesstar.com
