Data Audit Output Browser

The Data Audit browser is a powerful tool for gaining overview of your data. The Audit tab displays thumbnail graphs, storage icons, and statistics for all fields, while the Quality tab displays information about outliers, extremes, and missing values. Based on the initial graphs and summary statistics, you might decide to recode a numeric field, derive a new field, or reclassify the values of a nominal field. Or you may want to explore further using more sophisticated visualization. You can do this right from the audit report browser using the Generate menu to create any number of nodes that can be used to transform or visualize the data.

• Sort columns by clicking on the column header, or reorder columns using drag and drop. Most standard output operations are also supported. See the topic Viewing output for more information.
• View values and ranges for fields by double-clicking a field in the Measurement or Unique columns.
• Use the toolbar or Edit menu to show or hide value labels, or to choose the statistics you want to display. See the topic Display Statistics for more information.
• Verify the storage icons to the left of the field names. Storage describes the way data are stored in a field. For example, a field with values of 1 and 0 stores integer data. This is distinct from the measurement level, which describes the usage of the data, and does not affect storage. See the topic Setting Field Storage and Formatting for more information.
