Selecting Fields for Reports or Tables

Select the Fields tab of the Report or Table Tool.

Except for the Cleaned CS field (described below), only the fields in the transcript are listed in the Field Name pane; they are listed in the same order as the order of their display in the transcript.  A blank Selected Fields pane is displayed on the right.

If the CS (Corporate Source) field is listed in the Field Name pane, or if PA (Patent Assignee) is listed in the Field Name pane and the User Preference Combine Patent Assignee and Corporate Source is selected, STN Express will insert a field called Cleaned CS (Cleaned Corporate Source) in the Field Name pane. Cleaned CS is created by algorithmically selecting the most significant information in the Corporate Source field.

If the User Preference Use Groupings is selected, the data grouping techniques defined for the Analyze Plus Wizard will be used to standardize the organization names.

Use the buttons in the middle of the screen for selecting the fields:
