Data Grouping and Cleanup in STN AnaVist

STN AnaVist lets you group and edit the terms used in bar and matrix charts. It even lets you save those custom groupings for use in future visualizations.

---

Accessing the Term Editor

Terms within any chart can be edited. To display the Term Editor, right-click within the chart and select Edit Terms

---

Automatic groupings

STN AnaVist uses a company name thesaurus to automatically group companies and name variations. For example, notice that three names have been grouped for Acambis Inc.

You can keep the automatic groupings or ungroup them by selecting None from the drop-down menu at the right.

---

Custom Groupings

You can create your own groups of similar terms. Simply highlight those terms and click Group. You can likewise ungroup terms by using the Ungroup button.

---

Save Custom Groupings

When you are finished editing terms, you can save them for future visualizations by selecting the check box at the bottom. Then click OK to apply the new groupings to your current visualization.
