Saving a streams lab
After you filter parameters with where clauses and drag parameters into the streams canvas, you can save this streams lab for quick recall another time. When you save a streams lab, you are saving the included parameters and where clause filters, not the data.
If users on your account have saved any saved streams labs, you can view the list from the streams home page or from the streams lab.
Opening a saved streams lab from the streams canvas
Saved streams lab controls
The streams canvas contains dynamic links whose appearance depends on whether your account has any saved lab states.
Important: Any account user can delete any saved streams lab even if they did not create it.
Before you drag any parameters into the streams canvas, the canvas is in the open streams lab and only the Open link appears.
After you drag one or more parameters into the streams canvas, the Save button appears.
At this point you can:
- Click Save to name and save the current streams lab for easy recall.
- Add parameters or click X in the streams canvas to remove it.
- Remove all boxes from the streams canvas if you want to start over.
If you click Open and choose a saved streams lab from the list, the saved streams labs and the name of the saved lab appears as a link at the top of the streams canvas.
At this point you can:
- Modify the where clause and parameters included in the streams lab, click the name of the saved streams lab, and then click Save to save the streams lab with the same name.
- Click the name of the saved streams lab and then choose Save As to save the streams lab with a different name to preserve the original saved streams lab.
- Click the name of the saved streams lab and choose New to return the streams canvas to the open saved streams lab.
To remove a saved streams lab, click Open and then click X next to the saved lab you want to remove.
