Notes

This tab allows rich text to be entered where recognized words are hi-lighted. The words recognized may be a name of a diagram or fact types. This automagic linking happens without any intervention. Name changes in the project or model may remove or add links.

The hyperlinks will be automatically created by CaseTalk. It may link to matching diagram names or type names in the model. A click on such a hyperlink will navigate you to the matched item.
