Before sort data for a user can be used in computing a map it needs to be checked by the Administrator as completed. Only and Administrator can complete or uncomplete a sort.
The reason for the complete sort function is that the Administrator needs to review sort data to be sure the user actually did the sort before allowing the compute map analysis to process the data.
If the Administrator tries to complete a sort that still has some unsorted statements, you will get a message saying that the sort is not complete and asking if you want all remaining statements placed into separate categories. Statements that are placed in separate categories are in effect treated as missing data in the analysis. The program will automatically take care of this function if the Administrator answers affirmatively.
To complete/uncomplete a sort:
From The Concept System Core Program Main Screen select the Admin-->Manage-->Edit/Enter User Data menu
Click on the Username for the user in the list box on the left of the screen
If the User was assigned to do a sort, the sort information for that user will be active
Click on the ‘Completed’ check box to make sure it is checked. The program will automatically take you into the on-screen sorting window
Select the Sorting-->Sorting Complete menu
if there are any unsorted statements you will be asked whether you want them placed in separate categories. Answer Yes.
The Administrator can also review and complete/uncomplete sorts within the manual sort window.
Warning: After a sort is completed, it cannot be modified unless the Administer first turns the completed sort status off.
