DATA-VIEW & DATA-EDIT User ManualThere will be feedback on the following issues, giving the user anindication of the consequences of the check-in action:o The number of values that are cleared; these used to have avalue, but are no longer in the data table;o The number of new records that will be created; these recordsdid not have a value before, but have been filled out now. Pleasenote that one record can contain values for multiple parameters;o The number of values that will be replaced; these records didhave values before, but have been replaced by another value;o Some process information: when the notification ‘Ready to checkin the uploaded file’ is given, the user can proceed with check-in.The preliminary data check can result in a fail when the file is not conforming tothe data structure or other requirements, which is described in section 3.6.1. Ifthe check is successful, the user can proceed to provide the metadata to finishthe check-in, which is described in section 3.6.2. To view the check-in and makechanges to the metadata if so required, the view check-ins option is availablefrom the main menu, which will be discussed in section 3.6.3.3.6.1 Failing Check-inThe preliminary data check detects whether the check-in will be successful. Ifthe check-in will fail, the check will give feedback on the reason of failing. Thereare several reasons that can cause a check-in to be unsuccessful: The user has not checked out any part of the specific data table. This willonly occur when checking in through the main File menu, since thecheck-in option will not be available from the data table if no data ischecked out by the user; this is shown in Figure 3-15; The user has not checked-out all of the specified dimension elements /parameters. This will give similar feedback as the previous example asshown in Figure 3-16, but can also occur when using the check-in optionfrom the right click menu. In this case DATA-EDIT will specify whichdimension elements have not been checked out by the user.Figure 3-15: Check-in fail: the data table was not checked outAugust 22, 2012 31
