Maintenance - Maintain descriptive data
To open the maintenance form choose Administration
->
Database ... ->
Maintenance ...
from the menu and select the
Maintain descriptive data tab. In the
Descriptor status data tab you may set
or reset the descriptor status of a categorical descriptor depending on its summary
data. In the
Categorical summary data tab you
may shift and copy categorical summary data to a different descriptor or delete
values for selected categorical states. In the
Quantitative summary data tab you
may perform such operations concerning statistical measures. With tab 
Description project you may manage
the additional projects of your description
items. To find and delete corrupted descriptive data choose the
Clean descriptive data tab. The
tab 
Find violation of rules offers query functions
to find description items where rules concerning the descriptor usage are violated.
In the sub-panels you may set a descriptor status and
move or copy categorical rsp. quantitative summary data. By default all descriptions
from the selected project will be searched that fulfill the specified conditions,
i.e. a certain categorical state or statistical measure. In certain cases it is
neccessary to restrict the possibly affected descriptions by some additional conditions.
For this purpose there is the option to define a restriction and/or an exclusion
list (see example below).
By opening a query window
(button
) you can generate a list of descriptions
(see image below) that shall be included in the search (Description restriction)
or excluded from the search (Description exclusion).
The resulting numbers of restricted and excluded descriptions
will be displayed in the controls. You may check the selected items by double-clicking
the numbers (see images below).
