Annotations tab options
Name. Select
Custom to adjust the autogenerated name or to create a unique name for the node
as displayed on the stream canvas.
Tooltiptext. (For nodes and model nuggets only) Enter text used as a tooltip on the stream canvas.
This is particularly useful when working with a large number of similar nodes.
Keywords. Specify keywords to be used in project reports and when searching for nodes in a
stream, or tracking objects stored in the repository (see About the IBM SPSS Colla boration
and Deployment Services Repository on p. 158). M ultiple keywords can be separated by
semicolons—for example,
income; crop type; claim value
. White spaces at the beginning and end
of each keyword are trimmed—for example,
income ; crop type
will produce the same results as
income;crop type
. (White spaces within keywords are not trimmed, however. F ore xample,
crop
type
with one space and
crop type
with two spaces are not the same.)
The main text area can be used to enter lengthy annotations regarding the operations of the
node or decisions made in the node. For example, when you are sharing and re using streams, it is
helpful to take notes on decisions such as discarding a field with numerous blanks using a Filter
node. Annotating the node stores this information w itht he node. You can also choose to include
these annotations in a project report created from the project pane. For more info rmation, see the
topic Introduction to Projects in Chapter 11 on p. 200.
