Briefly |
Write a formula to determine the captions for all the cases in the collection. |
You may want the icons in the collection to have different captions - especially if they're just "a case." These captions also appear in the status bar when you point at a case in a graph.

The easy way
1. Click an attribute name in the case table to select the column you want to be the caption.
2. Choose Use As Caption from the Display menu.
If you select more than one attribute, they get concatenated to make the caption.
The more general way
1. Double-click a collection to bring up its inspector.
2. Choose the Display (Dis…) tab.
3. You'll see the "display attributes" including x, y, and caption.
4. Define caption with a formula. The labels will change to match. You can use any of your attributes in the formula.
