Viewing a Snapshot

You can click View in the Snapshots window to access a read-only view of a selected snapshot in a new browser tab. Because each snapshot records the contents of a SAS Business Data Network instance when it is created, you cannot edit the contents of snapshots.

The snapshot label at the top of the snapshot lists the snapshot name and the time and date of its creation.

You can click Search to access the Search pane in a snapshot. Enter text in the Search field and click Search. The search covers all text fields on the term. These fields contain information such as the name, description, requirements, importance, and status of the term and the values of text attributes.

You can click on a tag in the list on the left side of the snapshot to filter the term list by the selected tag.

You can click Manage Term Types in the Actions menu to see the list of the term types that are contained in the snapshot.

You cannot edit these term types, but you can export them to an XML document.

This export document is stored in a designated place and available to be imported when needed.

You can click items under the Actions button above the terms list to export terms to an XML file or a definition. These documents are stored in a designated place and available to be imported when needed.

You can also select a term in the terms list and click Open in either the menu bar or the Actions button to review it in detail.

You can click the Identification, Hierarchy, Notes and Contacts, and History tabs to review the information that they contain. However, you cannot edit the contents of these tabs while you are viewing the snapshot.

You can use the Save As PDF Report item under the Actions button in a detailed term view to save information about the selected term in a PDF document.
