Depending on your topic workflow configuration, you can attach one or more types of data to topics and actions:
· Empirica Signal objects, such as run results or report output.
· Any type of file, including .docx, .pdf, .pptx, .xlsx, .xml, .xpt, .png, .jpg, and .zip formats.
· The URL of a web page.
· A note.
To save objects as an attachment for an existing or a new topic, do the following:
1. On the page where the object 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 the information into the fields. For more information, see Save to Topic dialog box.
3. 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 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.
