In order to start an analysis, fields and measures can be dragged and dropped into the '''Columns''' and '''Rows''' boxes in the central ad hoc pane. Alternatively, it is possible to right-click on a field or measure and select either '''Add to Columns''' or '''Ad to Rows'''. The main ad hoc pane is automatically refreshed as attributes are defined as columns and rows.
Data can be visualised in three different ways: in a table, a chart, or a crosstab.It is possible to switch between those views with the following drop-down in the main ad hoc pane: [[File:MINT_adhoc_type_switch.png]]
