Modifying user palettes

User palettes contain item types, attribute classes, and attribute entries. You can change the contents of a user palette. Modifying the contents and appearance of the user palette can help organize their content to make finding item types and attributes easier to speed up chart creation.

Procedure

To modify the content of an existing user palette:
  1. Click File > Chart Properties.
    The Chart Properties window is shown.
  2. Click Definitions and then select the page that you are interested in:
    • Entity types
    • Link types
    • Attribute classes
    • Attribute entries
  3. Select the entity types, link types, attribute classes, or attribute entries that you want to add to or remove from the user palette.
  4. Click Properties and select the palettes to add the types and attribute entries.
  5. Click OK.

Results

The modified user palette is shown in the list of palettes in the Insert from Palette pane, and in the User Palettes window.
Tip:
To set up user palettes that you want to use in many different charts, save your chart as a template.
