Node Customisation

Admins can customise the node style and information from the Node Editor Page

A Process Map is a technical document which displays technical information in the Node - the top and bottom sections of the Process Map. The style and information displayed can be updated from the Node Editor page.

After you have made your changes to the node editor you must click Save Changes at the bottom of the page to instantly update all the process maps in your library. 

Change the node style

  • Node margins (distance from the side of the page in cm) can be updated in the Margins section. To update the margins either use the arrows to increase or decrease the margins or type the value directly into the box.

Changing the left and right margins affects both the top and bottom nodes, but changing the top and bottom margins only affects the top or bottom node.

Add properties to node fields 

  • You can add up to three properties each to the Top Field Part 3, Bottom Field Part 2 and Bottom Field Part 3. They will be displayed one on top of each other in the order they are displayed in the node editor section. 
  • By default the property selector is set to Built-in Properties which means you can only select a property from the Built-in Properties dropdown. This can be updated by clicking Swap next to each property line, allowing you to select a property from the Custom Properties dropdown.
