Create or save an interpretation

• To save the interpretation, select Save, enter a name and optional summary, and select whether to use the result table most recently generated by the analytic as the data source.
• To save the interpretation as a new interpretation, select > Save As, enter a name and optional summary, and select whether to use the result table most recently generated by the analytic as the data source.

Delete an interpretation

If you no longer need an interpretation, you can delete it. Deleting an interpretation also deletes any visualizations created from that interpretation and removes those visualizations from storyboards. It does not delete the table this interpretation exists in.

• Navigate to the appropriate collection and click Data Tables, click Saved Interpretations next to a data table, and then click Delete beside the name of the interpretation you want to delete.
• Navigate to the analysis app that contains the associated analytic, click Saved Interpretations  for that analytic, and then click Delete beside the name of the interpretation you want to delete.

Result The interpretation is deleted.

Change the source table

Tip

Change the interpretation's source results table to another version of the table if you run a particular analytic multiple times and you want to use the same saved interpretation with any of the versions of results table generated when the analytic was run.

1. From within an open interpretation, click Change Source Table .

   The Choose a Source Table page opens and lists all available results tables generated by the analytic. It displays the date and time the table was created, the user who ran the analytic, the size of the table, and number of records it contains. You can sort the list on any of the columns.

2. In the Choose a Source Table page, click Select to apply the source table to the interpretation.

Result The interpretation is updated using the data in the selected source table and you can save the changes you made.
