Edit Project

Editing the project

After starting a database query and selecting an entry in the result list the dataset is diplayed in the edit window. In the header area the dataset name and the project language are shown (see picture below). To check dataset changes, click on the button to open the history.

The main project data may be accessed in the first Main attributestab, which is described below. Click on one of the other tabs in the picture below to go directly to the appropriate manual chapter.

In DiversityDescriptions a project may be a pure local project or it can be linked with DiversityProjects. By clicking the button above the query window, a new local project is created. For a local project the name can be set freely - as long as it is unambigious within the database - by clicking the  button behind the project name (see image below). By clicking the button you may view the login names that have access to the project.  

If a project is linked with DiversityProjects, the name is fixed to the value set in DiversityProjects. If the name is modified in DiversityProjects, it will change in DiversityDescriptions, too, when the project data are downloaded. The linking of a local project to DiversityProjects is described below in the Cachedprojects section.  

For a linked project some additional buttons are available (see above): With URI you may view the symbolic address of the referred DiversityProjects entry and with you may view the data in DiversityProjects. By clicking the button you may view the login names that have access to the project. With the button you may release the connection to DiversityProjects. I.e. the current project will become a local project.  

  

Main attributes tab

The main attributes tab provides access to a license URI, a short rights text and a detailled project text. The project language can be selected from a list. In field Rights you may enter a copyright text, in field License and a link to the license text in the web may be entered. By pressing the button a browser window can be opened to navigate in the web.

In the Wording field you may enter an alternative project name, which is used for the cache database. When a project has been published in a cache database and it is renamed, this field offers the opportunity to keep the published name. If a project published in the cache database and is renamed, the original project name will be automatically be inserted in the Wording field, if it is empty. Therefore publishing with the old project name will still be possible. To modify the published project name, too, update or remove the Wording entry and re-create the project in the cache database.

With combo box Language you can select the project’s default language. You man change the display and sorting of the entries in the Language combo box from “<code> - <description>” to “<description> - <code>” (and back) by clicking the button . If you need language codes that are not included in the list, click the button. For more details see Edit language codes.

 

Parent project

In the bottom area at the left side the Parent project can be adjusted. If the project has no parent, select “Root” (symbol ). The Parent project adjustment has an influence on the available descriptors, recommended modifier and frequency values and recommended statistical measures, because these adjustments are inherited by the subordinate project. If for a project in the Parent project tree no write access is possible, this is indicated by grey text colour and symbol . The missing write rights for a parent project has no influence on accessability of the actually selected project, except that the parent project adjustment cannot be changed. 

 

Cached projects

The Cached projects section shows entries that are downloaded fromDiversityProjects and not yet used within DiversityDescriptions (see image below, left). Accessible projects are shown with symbol , read-only projects as and projects wihout any access rights as . When you click on the project name, additional buttons are displayed (see image below, right). You may view the database link by clicking on URI or view the data stored in DiversityProjects by clicking on symbol . By clicking the button you may view the login names that have access to the project. With button you may link the current project to the selected DiversityProjects entry.

            

 

Scope values

In the Scope values section at the right the values for scope types “Sex”, “Stage” and “Other scope” may defined. When you mark one of the entries, a tool strip with the available operations is shown at the right border of the control. To insert a new value, select the scope type and press button . In case of “Sex” one of the predefined “sex status” values derived from the SDD standard has to be selected. In all other cases a new value with a numeric key is appended, that can be renamed by pressing the button and selecting Edit scope name or by clicking at the name. 

In case of “Sex” scope the “Edit” menu offers the additional menu items Reset scope name, which appears if the name differs from the original “sex status”. Further the “sex status” value may be changed with menu item Set sex status. For the other scope types you may enter a details text by pressing the button and selecting Edit scope details.

To remove a scope value, select it and press the button. To make a value available for the project, the check box must be checked. If the selected project has a parent and a value has already been checked in the parent project, this is indicated by the background colour (see image below).
