Question

How do you keep the entities in the correct order of date with regard to a sequence of events on these entities in IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook (ANB)?

Answer

In ANB, you can set the behavior on an Item such that the Date and Time control how the item may be positioned in the chart.

To set the date & time:
1. Right-click an item, and select Edit Item Properties. The Edit window is shown.
2. Select Date & Time and complete the Date & Time page.
3. Select the Date and Time check boxes and enter the date or time.
4. If you do not know the date or time, enter a description about when the event occurred. For example, "In the afternoon".
5. Set the time zone for the item.
6. Select how the item is ordered on the chart:

OptionDescription

OrderedAn item is ordered when it cannot be moved to the left and right of other ordered items.
