Data Transfer
Assembly of data is a multi-step process.  First, the data or information to be utilized is entered into a spreadsheet program.  This allows one to manipulate and create a "data set".  Once ready for transfer, the data set is placed into a data analysis program such as SPSS.  This placement is accomplished through a copy and paste function.

After transfer to SPSS, the data set must be further characterized through the setting of descriptives and variable labels for each string of data. A string is the data representing one location or person.
