Updating Category Trend Cells

Category Trend cells can also be updated directly using the Direct Update mode. This feature enables you to update the value or indicator of a cell either by entering a value manually or from a drop-down list within the cell.

Note:

Cells that cannot be updated with Direct Update are disabled.

To update cell information:

1. Double-click the cell.

   Or

   Click the cell and choose Update from the drop-down list.

   If the value to be entered is numeric or a text string, the cell clears. If the value or to be entered is not numeric or a text string, the cell clears, and an arrow appears on the right-hand side of the cell.

2. Enter the new value.
   • After opening the drop-down list, you can type the first letter of the option you wish to enter. The list automatically scrolls to options beginning with that letter.
   • To report no value or no indicator, type (-) or select no value or no indicator from the drop-down list.

To leave the Direct Update function:

• Press the Esc key (Escape). The cell's value or indicator remains unchanged and the system exits Direct Update.
• Click anywhere in the dialog box. If the cell had a value or indicator set to it, it will be saved.
