Inserting chart item property types

You can map the property types in your schema to an Analyst's Notebook Premium chart by inserting chart item property types into a charting scheme. Chart item property types determine how the property values that are stored in i2 Analyze, are represented on the chart.

The Edit Charting Schemes window must be open. Select the item type that you want to create a property mapping for.

The following are chart item property types that are available for mapping to include descriptive pieces of information you might want visualized on the chart:

  • Label
  • Date
  • Time
  • Description of date & time
  • Description
  • Source reference
  • Source type

In the chart item property type configuration screen, you can insert multiple property types to map to the chart item property type. Multiple chart item properties can be mapped to by the same i2 Analyze property.

You can configure whether the mapped property types have a prefix or suffix for their i2 Analyze property values. You can also determine how you want the i2 Analyze properties to behave if they have multiple values.

Labeling schemes for chart item property types are created to label the data that is represented on a chart for analysis. To map from the label of an item in i2 Analyze, you must specify which labeling scheme you want to use.

To map a property type to a chart item property type:
  1. Right-click on the Properties entry of the relevant property type, and select Insert Chart Item Property Type.
    The Add Chart Item Property Type window is shown.
  2. From the Available chart item property type list, select a property and click OK. The Available chart item property type list contains any chart item property type that is not mapped.
    The appropriate property type page is shown, for example Label.
  3. Configure the property type's specifications to how you want them to be represented on the chart. The property type setup depends on the property type that is selected. You can define a label from as many property types as you want, and include spaces or new lines.
    For example, given name followed by a space followed by surname.
Your property type is successfully mapped to a chart item property.
