The New Scheme dialog lets you quickly

create schemes based on a column.

  2. Edit the scheme item properties if desired, and then click OK.

 

Editing the Scheme Properties

The new Lithology Fill scheme appears under the Lithology Keyword scheme types. Click the  next to Lithology Fill to open the list of the scheme item names. These scheme item names match the keywords in the table's Lithology Keyword column. You can click on each scheme item name and edit the properties for the item.
