Data

The Data menu controls new cases, renaming attributes, and locking a dataset to prevent it from being changed. This is how the Data menu appears in Windows:

Data

 

New Cases...

Adds new cases to your data set. You specify how many.

Find Case...

Opens a dialog box into which you enter values to dynamically highlight in all objects the cases that match the current description.

New Attribute...

Adds a new attribute to your data set. If an attribute is selected in a case table, the new attribute is placed to the left of the one selected.

Rename Attribute...

Changes an attribute's name. (You can also double-click its name.)

Format Attribute...

Changes how numbers are formatted into scientific or engineering notation. You specify the number of significant digits displayed.

Reset Attribute Color

If you have changed the color scheme of one or more attributes in the data cards, this restores the original attribute colors.

Lock Collection

Locks (or unlocks) the collection to prevent changes to the data. You can still analyze the data, but you can't edit values, add new cases, make new attributes, rename them, and so on. Unlock to allow changes to the data.

Rename Collection...

Allows you to change a collection's name. (You can also double-click its name.)

Rerandomize

Generates new random values for values created using a random function.
