Name.
Select Custom to adjust the autogenerated name or to create a unique name for the node
as displayed on the stream canva s.
Tooltip text.
(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 s imilar nodes.
Keywords.
Specify keywords to be used in project reports and when search ing for nodes in a
stream, or tracking objects stored in the repository (see About the IBM SPSS Collaboration
and Deployment Services Repository on p. 158). Multiple keywords can be sepa r ated by
semicolons—for example,
income; crop type; claim value
. White spaces at the beginning and end
of e ach keyword are trimmed—for example,
income ; crop type
will produce the same results as
income;crop type
. (Whit e spaces within keywords are not trimmed, howeve r. For example,
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 reusing streams, it is
helpful to take notes on decisions such as discarding a eld with numerous blanks using a Filter
node. Annotating the node stores this information with the node. You can also choose to includ e
these annotations in a project report created from the project pane. For more information, see the
topic Introduction to Projects in Chapter 11 on p . 200.
