Saving <strong>Charts</strong> and the Cover Sheet<br />

Saving <strong>Charts</strong> and the Cover Sheet 1.4<br />

It is good working practice to save your charts at regular intervals as you add<br />

information to them. If there is a power failure or a problem with your computer you<br />

risk losing your work if you have not saved the chart.<br />

If you have made changes to charts that have not been saved, you will be<br />

prompted to save these changes when you exit Analyst’s <strong>Notebook</strong> or close the<br />

chart. If you have an existing chart that you want to use as the starting point for<br />

another chart, you can save it as another name so that you can add more<br />

information to it but not change the original chart.<br />

When you save a chart, all of the information that you have defined, such as<br />

entities, links, attributes, cards, and descriptions, are saved. The next time you<br />

open the chart it will contain all of the information that you added to it.<br />

You can also choose to save your charts automatically as you are working.<br />

Analyst’s <strong>Notebook</strong> will save your chart after a specified interval of time, for<br />

example every 5 minutes. It is still good practice, however, to save your charts<br />

manually at regular intervals.<br />

Cover Sheet When you save a chart, you can provide details about the chart in the form of a<br />

Cover Sheet. For example, you can include details about its subject matter and its<br />

confidentiality. Once you have completed the Cover Sheet details, you can decide<br />

to display the Cover Sheet every time an analyst starts to open a chart. Analysts<br />

can then view the details about the chart before they decide whether to open it or<br />

not. See the topic Working with the Cover Sheet in the Online Help.<br />

The Cover Sheet contains a set of six summary properties which you can use to<br />

provide a full description of the chart. These file properties are the six Windows<br />

Explorer summary properties, which you can view by right-clicking on a file,<br />

selecting Properties, and selecting the Summary tab. These are:<br />

• Title<br />

• Subject<br />

• Author<br />

• Category<br />

• Keywords<br />

• Comments<br />

When you complete the Cover Sheet for a new chart, you are providing additional<br />

details about the file that other Windows users can view.<br />
