5.6 Editing an analysis structure
The structure editor can also be used to edit an existing analysis structure. To do this select the menu
item Edit - Analysis structure.
If any cross-impact data are present at that time, the program will ask whether the cross-impact ma-
trix (cim) should be co-edited (synchronized). The reason for this question is that a modification of
the descriptor state list may have consequences for the cross-impact data structure. If the cim is co-
edited, the deletion of a descriptor in the structure editor will automatically cause the deletion of the
respective rows and columns in the cim. If the user changes the sequence of the descriptors or vari-
ants, co-editing means that the respective rearrangements will also be carried out in the cim, so that
the correlations between names and data remain unchanged.
If the user rejects co-editing, the present cross-impact data are deleted by the program thereby pre-
vent a meaningless combination of structure and data. In this case, a descriptor-variants-list without
connected cross-impact data will be edited by the structure editor.
Deleting descriptors or variants
To delete a descriptor, click the descriptor name in the descriptor list and click the “Delete” button.
Following confirmation, the descriptor and its variants will be erased. If a cross-impact matrix is co-
