Permissions: All Data Central roles can apply enabled Data Cuts.
Users with the Data Central Designer privilege can configure and manage Data Cuts.

The Data Cut functionality enables users to create a focused view of data deliverables using Advanced Filters. Cutting data allows users to observe relevant records, issues, queries, and subject metrics associated with custom conditions. Each study can have up to three enabled data cuts.

The Data Cut uses an Advanced Filter to focus on a set of data in multiple Data Central views:

• Data Central listings: Filters all selected domains (listings) by the Advanced Filter.
• Visualizations, GPP: Filters all selected charts and Graphical Patient Profile (GPP) components by the Advanced Filter.
• Queries, Issues panels: The queries and issues for the selected domains are cut, excluding those not fitting the filter. Queries and issues raised on domains not selected in the Advanced Filter display as well.
• Subjects panel: Any aggregate fields (i.e., from Mapper) in the Subjects panel derived from the selected domains are cut to reflect the records of the Advanced Filter.
• Records Review Summary panel: The Records Review Summary panel automatically updates with the relevant records / values for affected domains. Affected rows highlight when hovering over the filter pill; otherwise, they display normally.

A Data Cut icon is available for all Data Central users. Clicking the icon opens a popout showing up to three enabled data cuts to choose from, along with any disabled data cuts.

The master header displays a filter pill with the data cut name when a data cut is applied. Hovering over a filter pill that represents a data cut highlights all panels with the applied data cut in blue.

Apply a Data Cut

1. Within a Data Central study, click the Data Cuts icon in the master header.
   
2. Select an enabled data cut from the popout (a study can have up to three enabled data cuts).
3. Open and dock the panels associated with the data cut, for example, domain listings and the Issues panel. When hovering over the filter pill, any panel that contains a domain defined in the Advanced Filter has a blue highlight around it, indicating the data cut applies to that panel. 
   

Note: An applied data cut functions as a Global filter. For more information, see the Use Filters in Data Central article.

Note: When a data cut is applied, the Records Review Summary panel does not highlight blue. Affected rows highlight when hovering over the filter pill.

View Parameters of the Advanced Filter Defined in a Data Cut

Users can view a data cut's Advanced Filter parameters two ways:

• Click the Data Cuts icon to open the popout, hover over a data cut name, and click the View icon.
  
• Click the name of an applied data cut in the filter pill.
  
   

The View Data Cut window opens, displaying the data cut's Name, Description, and whether it is enabled or disabled. The Advanced Filter Preview section displays the filter parameters, including the Datastore, Domain, Field, Operator, and Value. In the example below, the criteria identify AE records where the AEREL field equals RELATED.

 

Note: Only users with the Data Central Designer privilege can edit data cuts.

Tip: Other elluminate filter options remain available when Data Cuts are applied.

Remove an Applied Data Cut

A Data Cut can be removed two ways:

• Click the X icon next to the Data Cut name in the filter pill in the master header.
• Open the Filter Panel, then click the X icon on the Data Cut card under Global.
