In this dialog, you can choose to import all, some, or none of the variables in the source file. Some data files may contain many more variables than you actually wish to analyze, particularly if you intend to use the data for spatial network editing.
In the case of spatial features, you may want to import only the spatial information without other data. In that case choose "Do not import variables" and then click "Next." BoundarySeer will import the spatial information without associated data.
Choose "Import variables" (the default choice).
Select variables to import by clicking on them and then move them from the "Data source variables" box to "Variables to import" using the "Add" button. Add the source variables to one of the three categories (numeric, categorical, label/other).
If the header of your file has already identified the data type, inappropriate data types will be grayed out.
If you move a variable into the wrong category, use the back arrow to take it out again.
Once you have finished adding variables, click "Next" to continue the import process.
Please note:
BoundarySeer is not yet able to work with variables of different types in the same data set. If you import some variables of each type, BoundarySeer will create two different data files, one for the categorical data and one for the numeric data. Labels will be included in each file.
