    Description
    Selector icon
    Indicates that the view has a selector role. Initially, all statistical graphs and data tables are configured as selector roles.
    Observer union icon
    Indicates that the view has an observer role with a union scheme. Initially, all network graphs are configured as observer views with a union scheme.
    Observer intersection icon
    Indicates that the view has an observer role with an intersection scheme.
    For descriptions of these roles, see Understanding Selection Mode.
  2. To change the role for a view, click its icon and choose a different role from the drop-down menu. You can change a selector view to an observer view, and vice versa. You can also change the scheme of an observer view from union to intersection, and vice versa.
    Note: If any statistical graphs or data tables do not participate in the selection of data, be sure to change them to observer roles.
    If you change an observer view to a selector view, the view initially displays the union of the selections made in the other selector views. To clear this selection and make a new one, click in the graph area to deselect all observations in the view, and then select the desired observations.
  3. When you are finished using local selection mode, restore global selection mode. See Restore Global Selection Mode.
