You can add entities and links to your chart. The items on your chart represent
real-world objects and relationships.
About this task
The user palette drop-down lists show your current palette
at the top, other available palettes, and items such as People, Crime, Documents,
Finance and so on. You also have the option to filter the Entities, Links, and
Attributes displayed. Choose from Recently Used, Most Popular and Currently on Chart.
The Links and Attributes menu gain an additional 'Relevant to Selection' option. When
you select an entity and choose 'Relevant to Selection', all the palettes that the
selected type appears in are listed, with the exception of the Common palette.
