<Maximum

The <Maximum value is the maximum value for the selected class. This option is not available when the Classes symbol button is clicked, as the symbol properties for all classes are set.

Class Name

The Class name option is grayed out when the Method in the Edit Classes dialog is set to Equal Number, Equal Interval, or Custom. The option is only available when the Method is set to Name. When available, the Class name displays the text associated with the text entry in the worksheet for this class. Capitalization is not important for the Class name. CLASS1 is the same as class1. Extra spaces or characters are important. So, class1 is not the same as class 1 or class1@. To change the text associated with any class, highlight the existing text and type the desired class text. The text displayed in the Class name is the same text displayed in the legend for this class.

This option is not available when the Classes symbol button is clicked, as the symbol properties for all classes are set.
