Chapter 4: Customizing a Template
Merging Templates 4.3
Your organization may have a template that it uses to create all of its charts. There
may be occasions, for example if the focus of your investigation changes, when the
template you are using does not contain the types and definitions that you want to
use. If you have another template containing the types and definitions that you
require then you can add them to your template.
When you merge templates you can choose to merge the following types and
definitions:
• Options
• Time Bar
• Defaults
• Entity Types
• Link Types
• Attribute Classes
• Grading System
• Line Strengths
• Date and Time Formats
• Default Styles
• User Palettes
There are two ways that you can copy types from one template to another:
• Create a chart using a template containing the types that you want to copy to
your template. Copy these items and paste them into your template.
• Merge the contents of one template into another.
The Standard template, distributed with Analyst’s Notebook, contains entity types
for national flags; these are also stored in a separate template file (Flag.ant).
