Information and Warnings


Information icons in visualizations

If there are items in a visualization that cannot be shown or might be misinterpreted because of the current settings, an icon is shown on the title bar of that visualization. If something cannot be shown in the visualization, a notification icon, , is displayed. If there is a risk that something might be misinterpreted due to lack of data to calculate a curve or similar, a warning icon, , is shown.

Getting system information

Viewing details about notifications and warnings

If there is some trouble with the loaded data, with a script or data function, or with a calculation in the analysis, a warning indication is displayed on the notifications icon on the menu bar. If pop-up notifications are enabled then new notifications will temporarily show up automatically.

Click the notifications icon to display all notifications about current issues in a panel.

Click on a specific notification to view more details about that particular issue in a separate dialog. From this dialog, you can copy alerts to the clipboard and use the information when communicating with others during troubleshooting of an analysis.

If the notification requires an action and you have the correct licenses to act on it, you might see a button taking you to the place where the action is needed. For example, if you open an analysis file where there are untrusted scripts or data functions and you are a script author, you can click the Manage trust button to go to the Manage trust and scripts dialog and review and trust the script to solve the problem.
