11. Adding notes and other helpful tools

Print this Topic

Prism gives you several useful tools to help organize your work and collaborate with others.

Prism Gallery

Click on the main heading for any category in the Navigator to display the Gallery of all the sheets in that section. Select sheets for exporting, printing, sending to PowerPoint, formatting with Magic, etc.

Info sheets

Use Prism's Info sheets to keep track of the details of a project. Info sheets can be links to a specific data table or they can apply to an entire project. The main section of an Info sheet is for structured information, with the left column for constant names and the right column for values. Values entered as constants can be "hooked" and used as constraints in nonlinear regression or when transforming, and even as axis limits or to specify custom tick locations.

Ping Pong

Use Prism's Ping Pong button (bottom toolbar) to toggle back and forth between the last two sheets you've worked on. It's much faster than using the Navigator.

Floating notes

Use the Floating Note tool to add notes to any sheet. You can have different colored notes and you can even insert hyperlinks. Floating notes won't show when you print or export sheets.

Audio notes

Use the Audio Note tool to record voice messages. When you are finished recording, you can click on the speaker symbol on the sheet to replay the message. (The speaker symbol won't show on printed or exported sheets.)

Highlighting

Use the Highlight tool to mark sheets in the Navigator that you want to go back to, or that you want your colleagues to look at.
