Specifying general options
You can define the default behavior to use when you are working with iBase chart items, on the Options page of the Data Sources pane.
General options
Select an option to specify what happens when you double-click items on the chart:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Open their Properties Dialogs | Opens the Analyst's Notebook item properties. The iBase record details are listed as an attached card. |
| Open their iBase Show dialogs | Opens the iBase record for a selected item, or the list of records for more than one selected items. |
| Expand the Items | Expands the selected items from the iBase database. |
Session defaults
You can set a session default for any standard field or link strength to add the same value to a
specified field for each record added during a session. For example, when you create an entity, you
see values of the fields set to the default - you can override the default value.
- Select Session Defaults for Standard Fields to specify different values for the session: Setting Field Values for the Session.
- Turn on Show Session Defaults Dialog at Logon to display the current different values for the session.
Charting settings
Specify which items are selected on the chart, choose a labeling scheme, and set iBase options.
Specify the chart items that are selected and which of them are laid out when they are added to
the chart:
- Only Select Added Items to select items that are added to the chart.
- Only Layout Newly Added Items to lay out only newly added chart items.
