If DeNIST is set to Yes, what occurs when you activate the DeNist option?

Activating the DeNIST option when set to Yes effectively removes any attached NIST files within parent/child groups. This means that during the processing of data, any NIST files that are grouped with other files in a parent/child hierarchy will be eliminated. This is crucial for data processing workflows that require the cleaning of datasets by eliminating known standard files, allowing for a more streamlined review of only unique or questionable data.

The focus on parent/child relationships is significant; it recognizes that in complex datasets, files can be interrelated, and any known standard or reference files (in this case, NIST files) can potentially skew the results if not removed. By selecting this option, teams ensure they are working solely with files that require scrutiny.

In contrast, preserving files, removing only loose files, or maintaining all files regardless of settings do not apply. These would lead to a cluttered dataset, potentially risking the integrity of the data analysis or review process. The DeNIST function is designed specifically to streamline the handling of known data types to facilitate a more efficient review process.
