IV. Review Selected Variables

Click the tab “Review Selected Variables” to show the list of selected variables in your tagset. In the sample NLSY97 tagset below, we have ten variables. Six are automatically pre-selected by Investigator (ID and demographic variables are R00001.00, R05363.00, R05364.01, R05364.02, R12358.00, and R14826.00) and four are additional education variables (selected in the example at the end of this user guide).

Many of the features available for the Review Selected Variables tab are the same as those in the Variable Search tab.

• By default, the tab displays the list of tagged variables with RNUM, question name, variable title, area of interest, and survey year.
• Through the option menu, you can decide what variable characteristics should be displayed in the list, view data for a specific respondent, and shift among different respondents’ data (as described above under Customize Your Search).
• You can access a variable’s codebook information via either the Codebook Preview or the Codebook tab.

To remove a variable from the list, simply untag it by clicking on the checked box next to the variable’s RNUM. Then click the “Refresh List” button, circled in the screen above, to view the updated tagset.
