Saving Analyses

This procedure is a step in the process for constructing an analysis. For more information, see "What Is the Process for Constructing Analyses?"

You can save an analysis to a:

• Personal folder, from which only you can access it.

  Your top-level personal folder is called My Folders. Every user with a unique user name has a folder called My Folders. This is designed to hold the analyses that you run most often, and other content that you access frequently.

  When you click the Refresh Display link at the bottom of the pane, the analysis is listed under the folder in which you saved it.

• Shared folder, from which users with permission to access that folder can access it.

• Lotus Notes database by either:

  • Saving the analysis to a Web Archive file (file extension .mht), and then uploading the file to the Lotus Notes database.

  • Saving the analysis and scheduling it to be sent by email automatically to a specific address on a Lotus Notes server using an agent. The Lotus Notes server can then process the email and write it to the database.

To save an analysis:

1. In the Analysis editor, click the Save Analysis toolbar button to display the dialog to save the analysis.

2. If you want to save the analysis to a personal or shared folder:

   1. In the Save In box, select the personal or shared folder in which to save the analysis.

   3. Click OK.

3. If you want to save the analysis to a Lotus Notes database using a Web Archive file:

   1. In the Save In box, select the folder in which to save the analysis.

   2. In the Name field, enter a name for the analysis, including an .mht file extension, such as forecasted_sales.mht.

   3. Click OK.

   4. Upload the .mht file to the Lotus Notes database.

4. If you want to save the analysis to a Lotus Notes database using an agent:

   1. In the Save In box, select the folder in which to save the analysis.

   2. In the Name field, enter a name for the analysis, such as forecasted_sales.

   3. Click OK.

   4. Create the agent, scheduling it to be sent by email to a specific address on a Lotus Notes server.
