DataSet Editor window layout
- DataSet Editor window
The DataSet Editor window has three major components-the title bar, the main menu, and the tabs.
|
- Note: If you launch the DataSet Editor window any other way than from an analysis window, and then modify the DataSet in any way, an asterisk (*) is displayed next to the DataSet name in the title bar. The asterisk indicates that modifications to the data are pending. Before you can close the DataSet Editor window, you must answer a prompt about saving the modified data. If you launch the DataSet Editor window from an analysis window, any modifications that you make to the data are immediate (no asterisk is displayed next to the DataSet name in the title bar) and you can close the window without having to answer a prompt about saving the data.

Info tab
When the DataSet Editor window opens, the Info tab is the active tab. (See the figure above.) The Info tab provides a high-level overview of the DataSet, including the DataSet name, the DataSet author, the data type and size in the DataSet for both included and excluded data, the DataSet creation date and time, the DataSet modification date and time, and a description of the DataSet.
The Info tab is interactive:
Data tab
The Data tab displays the data in the DataSet in a spreadsheet format.

All actions are available either from the Edit menu, or by right-clicking on a row or on a column header (as shown in the figure above) to open a context menu.
Row Labels tab/Column Labels tab
In a typical two-way DataSet, data mode 1 (the rows) represents the data samples and data mode 2 (the columns) represents the variables. The Row Labels tab and the Columns Labels tab-also known as the Mode Labels-provide access to the auxiliary "context" data for the Dataset, such as the labels for each sample, the axis scale, the data classes, and the Include status for data. (Multi-way data has additional Label tabs for each mode of the data.)
