Properties

Each data table has properties that you can set. If there is more than one data table open, the properties for each data table are set separately.

To set a data table's properties

1. Make sure the data table's window is the active window.
2. On the Edit menu, click Properties.

   IML Studio will display the Data Table Properties dialog box.

3. Use the controls in the dialog box to configure any changes you want to make.
4. Click OK.

The Data Table Properties dialog box has the following tabs:

• Ordering

This tab provides the following controls:

Changes in observation order affect

There are two options. If you select Actual data, then sorting the data table results in a global sort that reorders the observation. If you sort the data and then save the data set, the data set will be saved in the new sort order. If you select This view only, then sorting the data table results in a local sort that does not reorder the observations but only changes the view of the data in the current data table.

Default sort order

Selecting an option determines the default order in which variables are sorted.

• Selections

This tab provides the following control:

Scroll selected observations into view

When this option is selected, the data table automatically scrolls to a selected observation each time an observation is selected. To manually scroll a selected item into view, use the F3 key.
