Setting grades for imported items

If you are working with a classic import specification that is not aligned to an i2 Analyze schema, you can set the grades of imported items. Grades typically indicate source quality and information quality; each chart has its own grading scheme.

Procedure

To set a grade:
  1. Select an item in the import design.
    The property table is displayed to the right of the import design and contains the Grade properties. Unless previously modified, each grade has a default value of (lowest).
  2. In the property table, select each grade row in turn, and click the browse button that appears.
    The Edit window opens.
  3. To assign the lowest grade to every imported item, select Lowest grade.
  4. To assign the same grade to every imported item, select Grade and then choose a grade from the list.
  5. To assign a grade from values in the incoming data:
    1. Select Single column, and select the column that contains the data that determines the grade.
    2. Optional: Select the Replace blank values with check box, and select the grade to assign any item that does not receive a grade as a result of the previous step.
    3. Click OK.
