The data view is the table of contents of all of the data in your project. The data view holds geographies and associated datasets.
You can hide the data view by clicking on the [x] button in its handle. Once it is gone, you can choose to show the data view by choosing "Data view" from the "Window" menu. You can manage data in the data view by nesting and creating folders.

|
The geographies are identified with their spatial data format. |
|
|
Integer data, numeric data consisting of whole numbers. |
|
|
Decimal data, numeric data that can include fractional numbers. |
|
|
String or text data can consist of letters and/or numbers. If it is numbers, differences between the values do not have mathematical meaning (they can be descriptors for different categories). |
|
Naming |
The names of datasets derived from other data contain the name of the original dataset. In the example above, "RWM(Z)" is the z-score standardized version of "RWM". The other datasets shown (Lisa index,H/L) come from the Local Moran statistic performed on the standardized dataset. Names get rather long using these conventions, but the relationships are clear. You can always rename your datasets to shorten the names. To see the parentage of a dataset, you can also right click on it to view its properties, which describe its origin if the dataset was created within the Cancer Atlas Viewer. |
