Skipping this Introduction Page

After you are familiar with the process of creating this type of field, you may want to cause this Introduction page not to be displayed each time you create a field. To do this, select the option at the bottom of this page labeled Do not display this introductory page in the future. Each time you create this type of field after this, the wizard will automatically advance to the next page in the wizard.

If you would like to restore this introduction page after selecting not to display it, exit any dialogs or wizards and select Options… from the Tools menu. This will display the Modify Options Dialog, where you can select the General Options property page. On this page, press the Restore Hidden Information Panels button to restore this page and any other information panels you previously selected not to display.

What Do I Do Next?

When you are ready to continue, press the Next button to continue on to the Select Desired Outputs page. If you would like to exit the Wizard without creating a new field, press the Cancel button. If you would like to create a different type of field, such as a prediction, press the Back button to return to the Create a Field Wizard: Select Type page.

How Did I Get Here?

The Predict a Value Wizard: Introduction page appears when you select to create a new field to predict a value from the Create a Field Wizard: Select Type page. It also appears when you select the Add Prediction Field button from the Fields toolbar.
