Classification Rules Dialog
A recurrent task when mining the data is to create object categories so that they can be compared to one another.
Currently, we allow to create filters which can then be used in query builders to display the classification. However one filter must be created for each category. This can be quite a tedious task as it requires repeating the same (long) sequence of clicks each time.
A good alternative would be to offer a new type of dialog allowing to create a new string attribute holding the name of the category the object belongs to:
Or in the case of a numeric property
When the user clicks "run":
- Check if the name of the new property is already in use? If so ask for confirmation to go ahead and overwrite existing data.
- When updating the data, keep track of the count for each category and report the numbers to the users with a success message (or failure if anything goes wrong).
