Depending on what "Data Types" have been checked in the "Grid Parameters" section of the "Options" page
you may be offered more options when entering a new If there are multiple data types possible then you can select among them by clicking on the appropriate radio button.
You can give a The categories will be used in plots as adjectives qualifying this name, e.g. "poor health", where "poor" is a category, and "health" the construct name.
You can give each Weights may be used in some analysis techniques to give some Weights are normally in the range integers corresponding to the You can give Levels may be used in some analysis techniques to give some Levels are relative to one another so the actual range of values used is immaterial.
You can give The output status may be used in some analysis techniques to determine what should be anticipated.
You can define a set of categorical labels for ratings within Categories are defined on separate lines in the "Categories" text box.
The role of these labels varies by the data type and is described below.
Categories may be used with rating scales to label points and intervals on the scale.
The lowest point of the scale will be labeled by the phrase entered for the way in which Bare categories are defined by names that do not start with a number,
and are automatically evenly distributed along the rating scale.
Additional categories may be entered for specified points or ranges of the rating scale.
A category for a point on the rating scale is entered as "rating-value SPACE category-label", e.g. "2 medium rare".
A category for aan interval on the rating scale is entered as "lower-value SPACE higher-value SPACE category-label", e.g. "7 9 acceptable".
If a phrase has been entered for the way in which If a phrase has been entered for the way in which The categories entered are used in WebGrid's rating menus.
Categories are defined by a set of category labels entered in the "Categories" text box.
They may be regarded as rating scales from 1 to n, where n is the number of bare categories entered.
Intervals may also be defined to group the bare categories.
The categories entered are used in WebGrid's rating menus.
Numbers are signed floating-point numbers having any range that can be represented in 64 bits.
The number of decimal places is determined by those in the numbers used in defining the range.
Categories may be used with numbers to label points and intervals on the scale.
Categories are entered as for rating scales.
Integers are signed numbers restricted to have no decimal places and having any range that can be represented.
Categories may be used with integers to label points and intervals on the scale.
Categories are entered as for rating scales.
When you have selected a construct type and clicked "Done," the next page shows some additional options whose default values
vary according to the construct type.
The Use in plots option next to the category definitions indicates that the categories, rather than the numeric values
should be used for values in the Display, Synopsis and Focus output. For the Categories type it also indicates that the category name should be used
as the value in the popup menus used to rate elements.
The Bins option shown for the Numbers and Integers construct types specified the number of bins to be used in the
Synopsis histograms for these types if the option to use categories in plots is not specified.
