There may be times when the computer is not selecting cluster labels that you feel are appropriate for a particular cluster. These labels can be changed manually from Draw Maps. Follow the procedure below to change a cluster name.
The cluster names that are saved in the Draw Maps window are the ones that are automatically used in all pattern matching displays.
Note: Every time you save a map the current cluster names are overwritten. If you change cluster names and then subsequently save a map the changes will be lost.
