Menus
File Menu
| Commands | Shortcut | Function |
| Open | Ctrl+O | Opens the selected file using E-DataAid. Only one file may be opened at a time. If no file is selected, more than one file is selected, or an invalid file is selected, the Open command is disabled. Once opened in E-DataAid, the file may be modified, if necessary (e.g., renaming variables or changing subject numbers to avoid conflicts). |
| Merge… | Ctrl+M | Allows the combining of one or more data sessions into a target file. The Merge command is used to initiate the merge process. If no file is selected, or an invalid file is selected (i.e., non-E-Prime data file), this command is disabled. |
| Set as Target… | Ctrl+T | Sets the selected file as the target file for collection of data from individual source files during a merge operation. If no file is selected, or an invalid file is selected, this command is disabled. |
| Properties | Alt+Enter | Displays specific information about a selected file. |
| Exit | Closes the E-Merge application |
Edit Menu
| Commands | Shortcut | Function |
| Undo Merge | Ctrl+Z | Cancels the last merge operation. E-Merge supports only one level of undo, so only the most current merge operation can be undone. If no merge operation has been performed, Undo Merge is disabled. |
| Select Unmerged | Ctrl+U | Selects (highlights) all single session data files in the File List view that have not been merged into another file. |
| Select All | Ctrl+A | Selects (highlights) all E-Prime data files in the File List view. The Select All command does not distinguish between merged, unmerged, and target files (i.e., all E-Prime data files are selected). |
View Menu
| Commands | Shortcut | Function |
| Toolbar | Toggles the display of the Toolbar on or off depending on its current state. A checkmark next to the Toolbar command indicates the Toolbar is displayed. | |
| Status Bar | Toggles the display of the status bar on or off depending on its current state. A checkmark next to the Status Bar command indicates that the status bar is displayed. | |
| Quick Reference | Toggles the display of the Quick Reference dialog on or off depending on its current state. The Quick Reference dialog is displayed by default when E- Merge is opened. This option may be changed by unchecking the initial display default for the Quick Reference dialog using the Options command under the View menu. A checkmark next to the Quick Reference Command indicates that the Quick Reference dialog is displayed. | |
| Refresh | F5 | Updates the File List view for the folder currently opened in the Folder Tree view. |
| Filter… | Displays a dialog allowing the File List view to be filtered according to a designated pattern (i.e., file name). A filter pattern may be entered by typing directly in the “Select a filter” field on the Filter on File Name dialog, or by choosing one of the available choices from the drop-down box. The default filter pattern is “All Files(*.*)” to display all files within the current folder. Other available patterns include only single session data files (*.edat3), only merged data files (*.emrg3), and all E-Prime data files (*.edat3, *.emrg3). Any filter pattern entered by the user will be added to the drop-down box as an available pattern until the application is closed. | |
| Options… | Displays a dialog allowing the setting of the initial display options (i.e., when E-Merge is opened), and the setting of an option for the display and handling of conflicts during merge operations. | |
| Folder Tree | Alt+0 | Activates the Folder Tree view (i.e., places the focus in this view so that any action taken, such as moving the cursor, would occur within this view). |
| File List | Alt+1 | Activates the File List view (i.e., places the focus in this view so that any action taken, such as moving the cursor, would occur within this view). |
| Merge Log | Alt+2 | Activates the Merge Log view (i.e., places the focus in this view so that any action taken, such as moving the cursor, would occur within this view). |
Help Menu
| Commands | Shortcut | Function |
| Help Topics | F1 | Displays the application's Help system. |
| About E-Merge… | Displays a dialog containing the application's version information. |

A context menu may be accessed by right clicking a file name in the File List view. The context menu includes the Open, Set As Target, Merge, and Properties commands. The context menu simply permits quick access to the commands frequently applied to the items in the File List view.
