Description
When editing a Data Entry Setup(DES) under Enterprise, the user can add/delete labels from the DES.
Here below screenshot shows a DES example with one characteristics "weight" and two labels "Piece1" and "Piece2". The user can then approve and version the DES.
After logging onto the Web Data Entry , a user can create samples and choose to use the latest approved version of the DES.
Note: Data Entry Setup Revision is shown as 10 at above, which corresponds the most recent approved reversion number of the DES in the document versioning history.
When creating a Data configuration based off the DES, exploring the data configuration will display those entered samples.
If a user removes the sample "Piece2" from the DES inputs, sample data associated with the removed label will not show up on the data configuration output
Note : this the data configuration based off the corresponding version of that Data Entry Setup.
Resolution
To retrieve sample data associated with a removed label in a DES, the user could re-add the original label to the DES (assuming the label is not deleted from the system).
Note: the label has to be the originally created label rather than another label even with the same name.
A data configuration based off the updated DES that has the label re-added will shows those samples again:
If the data configuration was created off of the DES before the label was removed, the data with removed label will show up if the sync between data entry setup and the data configuration has been turned off in the Query options as shown below:
Issue/Introduction
This article talks about the consequences on the sample data after removing/replacing a label in a Data Entry Setup in an Statistica Document Management System (SDMS)Versioning enabled environment.
