Adding and Editing Views

You can add multiple views of results to a compound layout for an analysis, such as graphs and pivot tables that allow you and other users who run the analysis to look at the results in more meaningful ways, using the presentation capabilities of the various views. For information about the types of views that are available, see Step 2: Reviewing Results and Creating Layouts.

Each type of view has its own editor. Each view editor contains unique functionality for that view type but might also contain functionality that is the same across view types.

The following procedure describes how to add a view to a compound layout.

To add a view to a compound layout

1. If the analysis to which you want to add a view is not already open in the analysis editor, then do the following:
   1. Click the Analytics tab.
   2. On the Home page, click Catalog and locate the analysis.
   3. Click the Edit icon in the toolbar.

      The analysis editor opens.

2. In the analysis editor, click the Results tab.
3. Click the New View icon, and then select the view that you want to add.

   The new view appears at the bottom of the compound layout.

The following procedure describes how to edit a view.

To edit a view

1. In the analysis editor, click the Results tab.
2. Click the Edit View icon for the view you want to edit.

   The editor for the view opens.

3. In the view editor, make any changes that you want to make to the view, and then click Done to close the view editor.

   NOTE: When you click Done, your changes to the view are temporarily saved. The changes are not permanently saved until you save the analysis.

   TIP: During the time that the view editor is open, you can undo any changes that you made to the view but have not yet saved, by clicking Revert.

4. To move the view to a different location within the compound layout, drag the view, and drop it in the new location.
5. To format the appearance of the view, click the Format Container icon for the view.

   You can specify Cell, Border, Background, and Additional Formatting Options (Width, Height, Indent, Right Padding, Top Padding, Bottom Padding).

6. To set the properties for a view, click the View Properties icon for the view.
7. To remove the view from the compound layout, click the red X icon for the view.

   NOTE: Clicking the red X icon for a view removes the view from the compound layout but does not delete the view from the analysis. The view remains available in the Views pane in the lower-left corner of the analysis editor, so that you can easily add the view back into a compound layout for the analysis if you wish.

8. To delete the view permanently from the analysis, select the view in the Views pane and then click the red X icon.
