Guess what? Drum Roll, please š„ā¦ Janeās charting is now even faster! š„³
The newest Smart Options & Narrative for Charting chart part has the ability to create a customer narrative within just a few clicks.
If youāve read through the guide for the Smart Options & Narrative for Charting and would like to jump to some examples - please feel free to scroll down to our Examples section. If you are wanting to learn more about creating narratives within your charts, continue on.
Setting up Your Narrative
First, create a new chart template in a Staff Profile, and add the Smart Option & Narrative chart part. Once added, hover your mouse over the section then click to begin editing.
On this step, select the Narrative option shown below from the drop-down menu.
Once selected, Jane will display three new boxes to help you create your narrative.
- Intro: a place to build the introduction of your narrative. This can be a few words or an entire paragraph.
- Choice Phrasing: this section pairs with the intro to customize the middle section of the sentence. Click the subject or choice button to insert the respective option
- Outro: this is the ending of your narrative
After the phrase is set up, we can focus on the subjects and choices.
The subjects and choices both contain optional short labels, which are displayed when you are charting. The signed chart, however, will contain the full narrative that youāve created.
Letās take a look at a few Examples
