Description: rich (RTF) text documents that support various text and hypertext features

How to Create:

Created by clicking anywhere on the blank canvas in freeform perspective and typing some text

Objects & Actions

  • Rich text editor that appears in the context-sensitive toolbar and allows for:
    • Basic rich text editing functionality (bold, italicize, underline, etc)
    • Creating external (outside of Dash) hyperlinks
    • Adding bullets, indents, and alignment options
    • Text folding/summarizing, horizontal line, and blockquote functions
  • Sidebar that allows for additional “comments” in the form of text documents:
    • Click on the Comment icon on the top right corner of a text document to turn on the sidebar. This allows you, or others with augmentation/edit/admin permissions to the document, to add additional “comments” in the form of text documents
    • To turn off the sidebar, click on the same small grey vertical rectangle. Note that this will not erase any existing documents in the sidebar.
    • Change style by opening context menu (3 horizontal lines, last icon under the node when the text doc is selected) and clicking Change Style
