The Data Processing module provides processing functionality to improve data imports, data cleaning (recoding and transformation) and data exports. The module uses Rules, set up by the user, to direct the flow of information, and the system handles data much faster than "standard" import and export functionality. Note that the module functions are not associated with any particular project - you do not enter a project first - so you can work with multiple projects.
Important
The Template functionality is intended for importing and exporting data unrestricted by project ownership. The user permission for this functionality is therefore "company-wide"; i.e. all users attached to a company will have full read and editing access to all templates, rules and rule lists associated with that company. Be therefore extremely careful when editing templates and rules - if you change a rule that is being used by another user, valuable project data may be lost when that user runs the changed rule. If a user attempts to run a rule that is attached to a project to which the user does not have access, then the rule will abort with an error message.
Access the module functionality via the Data Processing menu command.
