Prototype Display Schemes
A prototype’s Display Scheme is how it looks in Outline View and Map View—i.e., its color, display expression, and (in some cases) the setting of subtitles (for Map View).

- Person-notes prepend biographical year span
- Article-notes prepend the last name of the first author, then year of publication, then article title
- Book-notes prepend year of publication, then author
- Quote-notes and quote-ana-notes prepend author then title
But these are just the defaults. You can change them with the SmartExpression Control Panel. BoxPress display expressions are called SmartExpressions because they are modular and can be modified with checkboxes. To see the control panel, go to your Utility Window > Prototypes Tab and then do View > Show Columns:

These default settings yield the following appearance:

The icons on the left (controlled by $DEIcon
) are the Proticons. They denote the prototype—and thereby the content—of the note. The icons on the right (controlled by $DEBips
) indicate export options and external resources. See below for more.
