Displayr vs. Q: Merging SPSS files
under review

I was in a meeting earlier today discussing the ease of use for merging files in Q vs. Displayr. The dialog box in Q is simple and easy to navigate since you’re just dragging and dropping questions that should be aligned. Though the dialog box in Displayr has similarities to Q, the options and how information is entered in the object inspector have a clunkier feel. Are there any plans to change the merge design in Dispalyr?

Make case matching requirements more clear in merging data sets

We need improvements in our documentation to make it clearer how the process of merging data sets works in Displayr and especially in relation to the relevant restrictions and limitations involved, such as merging on variable name vs label and so on.
Documentation updates can be (and have been) made by the USE team, but the interface could also use updates to make things more clear, such as updating labeling directing in the UI, such as:
Specify that the data sets are in the cloud
ID variable should be the variable
Name
(not label)Let the user clearly know that the combined data set has been saved to the cloud, as the merge dialog box message about this does not stand out to users
