Add scalar fields

You can use scalar fields to associate a custom scale with an enumerated field in your dataset to enable statistical analysis.

You must create and sync a dataset before you can add scalar fields to it.

• Add a dataset
• Sync a dataset

1. Click the App Drawer and select Datasets.
2. Select the dataset to add the scalar field to.
3. In the left navigation menu, click Scalar fields.
4. In the Scalar fields tab, click New scalar fields.
   
5. Select the checkbox to the left of each field you want to add as a scalar field.
   Note: If a supported scalar field or profile variable does not have values defined in the dataset, it will not be included on the New Scalar Fields page and you cannot create a scalar field based on it.
6. Click Create.
7. Click Confirm.
8. Optional: Edit scalar values.

After you add one or more scalar fields, you need to sync the scalar fields to add the associated data to the dataset. To sync scalar fields, see Sync scalar fields.
