If, during analysis, you discover that you did log your observations into too many DataSets -like using separate DataSets per pass for the same session- you can always put your data back together again.
Merge Manually
To manually move Events into an other DataSet:
▪Cut & Paste your Events to the required location.
▪Read Re-arrange Groups and Sets for further information.
Merge Events from different Sets
If all Events from one DataGroup need to be merged into a single DataSet:
▪Select Restructure - Group - Events to one Dataset .
INTERACT creates a new data file in which all Events are merged into a single DataSet per DataGroup, leaving the original data structure untouched.
IMPORTANT: If the data to be merged belongs to different Subjects, per Set, make sure you can still identify which behavior belongs to what subject after the merge!
- Read Use DataSet Description as ID for details BEFORE the merge.
Merge Sets from Different Groups
If you want to move all DataSets into a single DataGroup (for instance if each DataGroup holds only a single DataSet and the Group itself is not of importance):
▪Select Restructure - Group - DataSets to one Group to start the merge.
INTERACT creates a new data file in which all DataSets are moved into a single DataGroup, leaving the original Events per DataSet structure untouched.
