Save Oracle Empirica Signal tables and graphs as attachments

You can save the tables and graphs you create while working with Oracle Empirica Signal, such as run results and report output, to topics and actions as attachments.

1. On the page where the table or graph appears, click Save to Topic.

   Note:

   For a graph on the Data Mining Results page or Report pages, the Links check box must be selected for the Save to Topic link to appear below the graph.

   When you save tabular data, such as run results, only the first n rows of the displayed tabular data can be saved, where n is determined by a site option. A message is displayed if not all the rows are saved. The number of saved rows and the total number of rows appear as hover help on the attachment name.

   Note:

   On the Product-Event Combinations page, you can select rows, so the first n selected rows are saved.

   You might want to select different columns before you save. Only the currently displayed columns appear by default when the attachment is viewed. However, the application stores all available columns with the attachment. To customize the columns shown when viewing the attachment within the topic, click Columns and select the columns.

2. Enter an attachment name and optional description.
3. Choose to add the attachment to an existing topic or create a new topic.
   • To add the attachment to an existing topic:
     1. Click the Add to existing topic radio button.
     2. Click the Browse link to the right of the Topic name field.
     3. Filter the topics on the Select Topic page by making selections from the drop-down lists above the table.
     4. Select the radio button for the topic.
     5. Click OK.
     6. To add the attachment to a specific action associated with the selected topic, from the Action name drop-down list, select the action.
     7. Click OK.
   • To create a new topic and save the attachment to that new topic:
     1. Click the Create new topic radio button.
     2. From the Visible to work team drop-down list, select a work team or click the Browse link to display a list of work teams. Select the radio button of a work team and click OK.
     3. Enter the topic name and description.
     4. Choose whether to add the topic to an existing or new project.
        • If you select Existing, choose the project from the Project name drop-down list.
        • If you select New, enter the project name in the Project name text box.
     5. Click OK.

   If you have created a topic, it is assigned to you by default. You can edit the topic as needed.

   Note:

   Your administrator may establish a maximum size for the Oracle Empirica Signal tables that you can attach with a site option. If you attempt to save a larger table an error message informs you of the defined limit.

   After you add an attachment, you can access it when you view or edit the topic or action to which it is attached. See Edit an attachment.

   Note:

   Changes to, or deletions of, the original object do not affect the attachment. For example, if you save report output as an attachment to a topic and then that report output is deleted, the topic attachment remains unchanged.

   If the topic workflow configuration has changed, when you click OK on the Save to Topic dialog, Oracle Empirica Signal will warn you that the topic workflow configuration has changed and won't save your changes. Close the dialog and perform your Save to Topic action again.
