Maintenance - Exclusive descriptors

If a descriptor is marked as “exclusive”, in each description item only one categorical state value for this descriptor should be present. When you are editing a description in the Contiuousview violations of this rule are usually highlighted by a yellow background color. With this form you can easily find all descriptions violating the exclusivity condition.

After selecting the Project click on Check for violations and all found description items are listed in the table (see image above). If you select the option Ignore same state, mutiple occurances of the same state, e.g. when modifier of frequency values have been selected, will be ignored. By selecting an entry and clicking the button Inspect dataset you may view that dataset in a separate window.

You may select or deselect all entries of the result list by clicking the buttons Select all rsp. Select none. To save the selected table entries in a tab-separated text file click on the Export data button. Click Close form and check list in database to return to the main program with the affected descriptions.
