Opening Analytics tables in the Analysis App window

You can open any Analytics table in the Analysis App window, and create a data interpretation or visualization for the table, without having to manually create an analysis app. If the table’s source data is updated, the interpretation or visualization dynamically updates when you reopen it.

When you open an Analytics table in the Analysis App window, an analysis app is automatically created in the same folder as the Analytics project. The analysis app has an .aclx file extension, and the same name as the Analytics project. A subfolder containing files required by the analysis app is also automatically created. The analysis app and the accompanying subfolder are where any data interpretations or visualizations are saved.

You can delete the analysis app and the accompanying subfolder at any point. Deleting them does not affect the Analytics project or its source data files in any way.

Note:

The names of the Analytics project and the analysis app must be identical in order for them to be linked. If you change one or both names so that they are not identical, you will break the link and any saved interpretations or visualizations will not be available from the Analytics project.

To open an Analytics table in the Analysis App window:

  1. Open a project in Analytics.
