You can add information that you have about a chart item into the properties of the
item. You can use analysis tools to gain insight from property values, and they can be displayed
on the charting surface.
-
To edit the properties of an item, click the item on the charting surface, click the
Home tab, and then in the Edit Properties group click
Data, Attributes, or Cards. In
the Edit window, Analyst's Notebook opens the
corresponding folder of property pages.
Tip: To add the same information to several items at the same time, select them all,
right-click on one of the items, then click Combined Properties. For example,
several telephones might have the same area code. If some of the items already have a value for the
property that you want to edit, Analyst's Notebook displays blue hatching
instead of a property value. You can collectively modify date and time, description and grades,
attributes, and style properties.
