Interpreting results data

An interpretation is a bundled collection of filters, visualizations, and statistics based on a table in a collection.

Save an interpretation

On the navigation bar, click Save and then do one of the following:

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.

Open an interpretation

To open an interpretation, do one of the following:

Navigate to the appropriate collection and click Data Tables, and then click Open next to open a new interpretation.
Navigate to the appropriate collection and click Data Tables, click Saved Interpretations next to a data table, and then click Open next to the saved interpretation you want to open.
Navigate to the analysis app that contains the associated analytic, click Saved Interpretations , and then click Open next to the saved interpretation you want to open.

Note

If you are opening an interpretation that is part of a collection that has been restored from an archive, you will be prompted to choose a source results table. If no associated results table exists, you must run the analytic to generate one.

Result The saved interpretation opens, including the Table View and any filters, charts, and statistics that were saved as part of the interpretation.

Delete an interpretation

To delete an interpretation, do one of the following:

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. Deleting an interpretation permanently deletes the associated filters and visualizations, but does not delete the associated table.

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.

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.
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.
