Specifying the Field Name

The field name is the name of the attribute. It must be a valid variable name (e.g., no spaces, etc.).

Tutorial Task

In the Fieldname field, enter

• Plot_Title
  

Note that the field name must be a valid variable name, so if you enter Plot Title, it changes to Plot_Title as soon as you press the Enter key.
