Grouping variables in Meta-Editor

DataTile enables bulk editing of variables, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual edits. By grouping the variables you need to change, you can make all necessary adjustments simultaneously.

How to group variables

• Open a database configuration page and move to the Meta-Editor;

• Select the variables and group them by clicking the 'Group' icon :group: on the toolbar;

• Make any required change to any one variable from the group. All changes will be populated immediately to the whole group of variables.

The grouping only works if the variables have the same category types. Grouping variables with different categories won’t work.

You can simultaneously change for all grouped variables:

• options' labels editing,

• change options' digits,

• options visibility,

• or combine options with the ‘OR-function’.
