This tutorial describes the meaning of a combinatorial and linear link, the effect of changing linking order and the use of the pause build function to make changes to the flat data table before the container workbook build is completed.
In this video we continue exploring Page 2 of the wizard. We learn how to take drug name data from another Excel workbook and import it into the independent variable value list box. We also explore the various functions on the return data dialogue box that control how a 2D matrix of data is collapsed into a single list column.
This video covers several important details that determines how plate controls are defined (page 3) and how the controls are arranged on the plate (page 3 and page 5).
