Save to Topic dialog box

The Save to Topic dialog box saves tabular data or graphs as an attachment.

Note:

You can save objects to a topic only if you have the work team permission to add, edit, and delete attachments in open topics/actions.

When you save signal objects to a topic, you either create a new topic with minimal information or add the attachment to an existing topic or one of its actions.

Another user can edit a topic while you are saving an attachment to that topic; however, if the other user closes or deletes the topic during this time, you are prevented from saving the attachment and an error message is displayed.
