Create a Text or Display Entry

Use text entries to add labels and clarify text in a ProcessBook table of
contents. Display entries represent a display in a ProcessBook.

1. Click File > New. The New dialog box appears.

2. Under Type, select ProcessBook Entry.

3. Click OK. The Define ProcessBook Entry dialog box appears.

4. In the Label dialog box, type a name.

5. For the Type, select Text or Display.

6. In the Level list, click the level at which you want to position the entry

in the ProcessBook hierarchy of entries, or type a number between 1
and 10.

If you are creating the first entry in the ProcessBook, the level is

automatically set to 1 and cannot be changed. This entry is used as the first
tab label.

7. Click OK. The entry is added to the ProcessBook. If the entry is at

Level 1 and you are in Book view, a tab is created using the name of
the entry.

8. Click the Save button on the toolbar, or click File > Save.

Linked Display Entry

A linked display allows you to use a display name to link to an entry
elsewhere in the ProcessBook or in another ProcessBook or independent
display file. This means that you create and store only one copy of the
display.

You can then access the same entry from several different locations in one
ProcessBook. Or, while you are in one ProcessBook, you can open an entry
from another one without having to close the first ProcessBook.
