Features
Here you will find a list of features of Swing®. Click one of the categories beneath, for more information.
Presentations 
- Tabels (multi dimension, turn-over, switch dimensions, sorting, move columns, diagram in the table)
- Bar charts (normal and stacked)
- Pie charts
- Area diagram
- Line charts
- Maps (zoom in, move, infrastructure, adjust legenda, adjust colors, adjust classes, several layers)
- Dots in a map
- Diagrams in a map
- Pie charts in a map
- Flows in a map (commuting, migration)
- Objects in a map (buildings, schools)
- Bars (to compare regions)
- Population pyramids
- Dots with a regression line
- Dynamic Reports
Handling of presentations
- Export tables to Excel, dbase etc.
- Export maps and charts to graphical formats (BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF etc)
- Print presentations
- Compare regions
- Save preparations
- Adjust fonts, colors, backgrounds, legend, style sheet etc.
- Future projections will be presented differently (Italic, light color etc).
Statistical functions
- Mean
- Minimum
- Maximum
- Sum
- Correlation coefficient
- Regression (on two variables)
- Reliability (in a sample)
- Calculations based on the variables in the database
Operations
- Percentages (regarding time periods, variables and/or regions)
- Sum (over time periods, variables and/or regions)
- Growth indexes (based on any year)
- Z-scores
- Signal in case index or z-score is out of range
- Interpolate (in several ways)
- Extrapolate (in several ways)
- Allocate
- Fixed prices (correction for inflation)
- Current prices
Type of variables
- Absolute values (which can not be summed over the years – like population numbers)
- Absolute values (which can be summed – like number of births)
- Mean (income)
- Percentages
- Flow variables with a specific direction (shopping, migrating, commuting)
- Flow variables without a specific direction (distance between two areas)
- Location (of a office, shop, mall etc)
- Labels (data on low level like colors or names)
Type of periods
- Years
- Months
- Quarter
- Half a year
- Possibility of aggregating periods (months into a quarter; quarter into a year)
Type of regions
- Areas: municipalities, neighborhoods, countries)
- Dots: addresses
- Lines: railway, road, river
Modules and options
- User version Windows
- User version Internet
- Network module (Windows and Internet)
- Managing module (Windows only)
- Authorization module (shipped only with a Network module)
- Object module (will be shipped with a standard version)
- Report module (will be shipped with a standard version)
Managing module
- Import data from dbase or excel
- Export data to dbase, excel, SPSS
- Variables can be defined on several time lines and different geographical levels
- Add meta information to a variable: definition, unit, source, size of the numbers.
- Define the type of variable
- Hide or display variables for users
- Combine variables into a subset
- Background information in HTML-files that can be viewed by the user
- Determine the first year of a projection
- Determine how the data can be aggregated (weighting variable)
- Determine how inter / extrapolations should be done
- Setting reliability margins for surveys
- Setting limits for surveys (under this limit, variables will not show)
- Determine round offs (unities etc)
- Determine aggregation of variables for several regional levels
- Adjust names of regions
- Hide or display regional levels for users
- Attach a background map to regions
- Set up report profiles which will be filled dynamically by the user
- Add formulas to make calculations based on variables in the database
Authorization module
- Add user groups
- Add subsets of variables
- Connect a user group to a specific subset of variables
- Connect a subset of variables to a specific regional level
- Connect a subset of variables to a user group
- Logging on to the system with a password
- Automatically logon
- Logon based on IP-address (only for internet)
- Standalone version: logon without username
