The Notation Manual is used for the central definition of all visualization settings with the aim of an identical representation of all TRUECHART visualizations on the respective system. The Notation Manual can only be edited by users with the "Notation Manual" permission.
The settings dialog can be opened via the TRUECHART context menu TRUECHART > Overall > Notation Manual or via Cell Editor TRUECHART > Cell > Notation Manual.
There has since been improvements made to the Notation manual from TRUECHART version 2023.4.0 onwards. You can access the notation manual by Right clicking on your TRUECHART visual and selecting the Notation manual icon:
The look and feel of the old and new notation manual user interface will differ and some options have been removed to simplify the setup of objects. In this guide old user interface will be on the left and the new user interface on the right.

This tab contains settings regarding textual separators for auto variable values which can be used within click behaviors in cell interactions. These separators can be used within scripts to identify dimensions, measures, and values in a save and programmatical way.
Figure 1. This example shows defined separators in click behavior variable 'clickInfo.variableValueAuto'.
The following code snippet which can be used as a custom click behavior in cell interactions, shown the usage of defined separators to identify the dimension and its value the user has clicked on a chart.
Example 1. Custom click behavior js code
if( clickInfo && clickInfo.variableValueAuto )
{
var strSplit = clickInfo.variableValueAuto.slice(1, clickInfo.variableValueAuto.length-1);// split dimensions and values
strSplit = strSplit.split('##');if( strSplit.length > 1 ) {
// split differend dimensions from each other
var selectDimension = strSplit[0].split('§§')[0];
var selectValue = strSplit[1].split('§§')[0];
} if( selectDimension && selectValue )
{
// select clicked category to current dimension
qlik.currApp().field(selectDimension).selectValues([selectValue], false, false );
}

In this tab parameters for specific TRUECHART features as Scaling helper and Outlier can be defined. Additional settings i.e. selection of Measures and other display functions can be defined in the Cell editor.

The following figure gives an example for the Scaling helper(line size, color and with an activated checkbox for the area). Additional settings i.e. selection of Measures and other display functions can be defined in the Cell editor.
The following figure gives an example for the Outlier based on the parameters set for the chart.
Structure
In this section general settings for Structure Charts can be defined.
Notation
The tab gives the possibility to amend the notation for Element, Axis and Header within a structure chart. Default settings are in conformity with IBCS standards.

Element
In this tab settings for chart, elements can be defined
This example shows, how changes in Bar Height amends the height of the bars in a Structure chart.
The following figure gives an example for the amendment of the Needle line size(saved locally in Notation manual) and it’s direct impact on the visualization within a needle chart in TRUECHART.
Axis
Depending on notation for the axis (here: without) settings for the width can be defined as shown in the example.
If the axis is linked to notation - based on settings in Cell editor- the width can be defined as shown in the below figure.
Thin line size
This notation manual setting, sets the thickness of the line in stacked time or structure charts
Header
Based on settings in Cell editor a header can be displayed, its position can be defined in the Notation Manual as shown in the below figure.
Description
In this tab description elements like Legend, Value label and Dimension label can be defined.

Legend
Based on the settings in Cell editor settings for the Connector of the Legend to the Structure chart can be defined.
Value label
The following figure gives an example of the amendment of the Value label and its distance between displayed measure values and bar chart.
The following figure gives an example of Background transparency in case of overlapping measures.
Dimension label
The following figure gives an example of the amendment of the Dimension label and its distance to the axis.
Values
- The following would allow you to change the total values from bold too normal fonts
- And also change the properties of your separator.
Other
- This setting allows you to increase/decrease the cell padding distance from the top and left/right hand sides of your chart.
Table
Notation
Under "Cell" setting select "Header" under your "Notation" setting.
Header: These "Notation" settings will enable you to customize your "Header" properties.
Values
- The setting under "Normal" will allow to change the color and thickness of your border.
- Adjust the distance/size of the column for your dimensions and measures
Others
Column
Column width
Defines the default column width of a table column for value columns and columns with visual representations.
Distance between columns
Defines the default space between two table columns.
Distance between columns big
Defines the space between columns if they are of different types (like comment, expression, value). It is also used to separate different annotators from each other.
