I have a feature wish for data inputting in the online tool: check for unique identifiers.
That is, specify which variable(s) uniquely identify an observation (a.k.a. a record, a row of data). For example, perhaps idvar uniquely identifies observations within panels identified by pvar. In Stata, the command for the example would be isid idvar pvar.
A simple implementation in dataMaid would be a drop down box where the user specifies the unique identifier(s).
The feature would be helpful almost every time I receive a dataset from another user as a first basic error check.
