📊⚙️How to use Units - For TFL Studio Administrators

Automating Unit Detection and Dynamic Labeling in Tables and Figures Using TFL Studio Data Specifications

Description

This tutorial demonstrates how TFL Studio handles units in datasets, including importing units from either a units row or column headers and applying them to variables. It shows how to assign units dynamically using a dedicated units variable (e.g., for concentration), enabling accurate labeling across tables and figures. The video also highlights how unit display can vary depending on table structure (e.g., multiple analytes vs. paged views) and explains how specs can automate unit mapping and column matching. Finally, it notes that unit issues can still be corrected after import by rescanning datasets.


Key Takeaways

  1. Units can be imported from either a units row or column headers during dataset ingestion.

  2. Variables can derive units dynamically from another column (e.g., concentration units).

  3. Table structure affects how units display, especially with multiple analytes.

  4. Specs can automate unit assignments and column mapping for efficiency.

  5. Unit errors can be corrected after import by rescanning the dataset.
