A data analyst needs to update a scatter plot to show a different mark shape for each shipping mode in the view. What is the correct way to assign a unique shape to every ship-mode category?
From the Format menu, select "Shading" and assign a different shape to each column.
Drag the "Ship Mode" dimension to the Shape property on the Marks card.
Drag the "Ship Mode" dimension to the Detail property on the Marks card.
Right-click the "Ship Mode" dimension in the Data pane and select "Default Properties" > "Shape".
Drag the Ship Mode dimension to the Shape button on the Marks card. Doing so separates the marks by the members of Ship Mode and assigns a distinct shape to each member, which you can customize via the Shape legend. Dragging Ship Mode to Detail only adds it to the level of detail and leaves all marks with the default shape. Setting a default shape through Default Properties defines which shapes will appear once the field is placed on Shape, but it does not encode shapes in a view where the dimension is not already on the Shape card. The Format > Shading command affects background shading, not mark shapes.
