A node has many properties, such as name, code, kind etc. To view and edit these properties, we open the node by double-clicking on its icon.
This dialog box actually consists of three different views labelled “Identity”, “Distribution” and “Operators”. As the dialog box appears on the screen we initially see the “Identity” view. To change to the other views, you click the corresponding “Icon” in left-hand part of the dialog box. We will soon learn about the other views, but for now stay in the “Identity” view.
All the properties shown in the “Identity” view are there to help you identify the different nodes. None of them affect the mathematical model in any way.
You select a field to edit either by clicking on it, or by moving from field to field by pressing the “Tab” key on the keyboard.
- Select the “Name” field and type “Revenue”.
- Select the “Unit” field and type a currency symbol, e.g., “$”.
We then finish the dialog by clicking the “OK”-button.
