Updating iBase chart items

iBase records that are added to Analyst's Notebook chart are disconnected from the versions that are stored in the iBase database. This allows you to act on the data that was available at the time the item was added to the chart, but might lead to key future updates being overlooked. If necessary, you can refresh your iBase records, updating to later versions where applicable.

In addition to updating to the latest version of an iBase record, and editing the record directly, the following options that are available in Analyst's Notebook modify the records in the iBase database:

Command Description
Add to Set

Adds the selected items to either a new or existing set.

When you select Add to Set, you will be prompted to either:
  • Create new set using the name, specifying the name to use for the set.
  • Append the records to the set, specifying the set to add the records into.

The entities remain selected so that you can, for example, reposition them on the chart.

This command is available:
  • from the Database section of the Selection tab of the Data Sources task pane.
  • by right-clicking on a chart item, and from the shortcut menu, select database > Add to Set, where database is the name of the iBase database.
Merge in iBase Merges iBase records in selected chart items in an iBase database.

Right-click on a chart item, and from the shortcut menu, select database > Merge in iBase, where database is the name of the iBase database.

Note: This is different from merging chart items, for information about merging chart items, see Resolve duplicate data that you identify.
