Once your Result Files have been imported, you can use them to create a new Identification Dataset. Double-Click on the “Identification Trees” element in the Project Tree. The grid which just appeared is meant to list all your datasets and the results of their validation, if you've launched them. For now, click on the “New Dataset” button from the bar, or by right-clicking on the “Identification Trees” node.

(You can also create an empty dataset and assemble complex structures, but we don't want to do this right now)

You should now see a window asking to choose a source of data for your new Dataset.

• Choosing “Result Set” allows you to build a new dataset from both Result Files you have imported and existing identification datasets, whether they have been validated or not.
• Choosing “Result Summary” will let you build a new dataset from one or more existing validated identification dataset. Il will duplicate them into a new Dataset without their validation data.

For now, assuming you are creating your first identification dataset, you should choose the “Result Set” option. On the two-tabbed panel, go to the “Result Sets” tabs in order to see the list of the files you have imported.

To add one or many files to your selection, select them in the grid (you can use the Ctrl and the Shift keys to make a multiple selection), then click on “Add to Selection” on the bottom of the window. You can also double click on one file to quickly add it to the selection.

To remove any file from the selection, just select them and click on “Remove selected Items”. Type a name for your dataset then click on “Create”. The creation of your identification dataset happens as follows :

• An “Aggreagation” Dataset Node is created. It takes the name that you provided during the creation.
• One “Identification” Dataset Node is created for each one of the Result Files you have selected. They take the name of the Result File.

Once your Identification Dataset has been created, you can see it on the tree, in the left side of the window.

The panel of the Aggregation Node shows a list of your Identification fractions (corresponding to each imported file) and, after the validation process, it will display the Merged Result Summary infos.
