Managing Datasets

In the data view, you can use folders and nesting to organize your datasets. You can open or close a folder or nested set by clicking on the [+] or [-] symbol next to the icon.

• You can hide or group data into folders beneath each geography by right clicking a geography and choosing "New dataset folder". Then, drag datasets into the folder.

• New geographies or datasets created from others are nested by default, and placed underneath their parents. New geographies are created by conversion, developing subset geographies, or by making a centroid geography. New datasets can be created by standardization, by various mathematical operations using the dataset calculator, or through statistical transformation. You can drag the datasets to the main list to un-nest them, or drag un-nested datasets back under their parents. However, you cannot nest datasets under non-parent datasets. For instance, in the above image, you could not nest RWM under RWF.

• You can rearrange the order of folders and datasets within a geography by dragging them around.

• You can copy datasets into nested geographies by dragging them to the subgeography name.
