Creating a chart

If you want to create a chart and you are planning to extract items into iBase, you can increase the amount of information that can be transferred to your database. Ensure that an iBase database template is used when the chart is created, and that the attributes you use on items relate to iBase fields.

If you create a chart using a template based on the iBase database that you are planning to extract into, the item types available will be mapped to iBase item types and recognized. This:

• Ensures that items added to a chart are of a type that will directly map to your iBase entities and links.

• Allows attributes to be added to items that will be recognized and added to iBase fields.

Adding attributes that can be matched to iBase fields means that:

• You can ensure all the information entered will be correctly stored within iBase.

• Any Suggested From Code List or Selected from Code List type fields will have their options available from within Analyst's Notebook.
