Associating Facilities and Points

A key feature of a CygNet note is its ability to be associated with facilities and points, although this is not required.

Note: Default note associations are pre-added for all notes created from a Trend Tool. The default associations are a collection of all points and facilities for all series in the selected axis group. Merely remove the association(s) not relevant to your note.

For more information, see the subsections below:
