Step 7: Saving the analysis

We're now ready to save our analysis. We will save the analysis to a shared folder so that any user can run the analysis. You can save analyses to a personal folder (called My Folders) or to the shared folder called My Company Shared. The personal folder contents are only visible to you. The My Company Shared folder contents are visible to all of your organization's report users.

To save the analysis:

Click Save.
The Save As dialog appears.
Expand Company Shared.
Since you cannot save an analysis to the root of this folder, we will create a new folder for our analysis.
Click New Folder.
Type Custom Email Reports and click OK.
Type Emails Sent Within a Date Range in the Name text box. This is the name that is used in the report catalog.
Type a description of the analysis in the Description text area. This description will help users understand what the analysis contains.
Click OK. Your analysis is now available in the Insight catalog.

Note: The folder paths only support ASCII characters.

Congratulations! You've created your first analysis!
