Share an Exploration

As you explore your data, you might want to share your findings. One way to share the contents of an exploration is to export some or all of its visualizations as a report.

To export an exploration as a report:

On the SAS Visual Analytics home page, double-click an exploration to open it.
Select FileExportExploration as Report from the explorer’s main menu.
If your exploration contains more than one visualization, use the Export as Report window to select the visualizations that you want to export. Click OK.

Tip
A few types of content (decision trees, network diagrams, word clouds, and treemaps that display additional levels) cannot be exported. To share such content, export it as a PDF or save it as an image.
In the Save As window, select a shared folder, and accept the default name. Click Save.
In the Export as Report window, select the check box to Open the report now. Click OK.

You can also browse to open the report. In the upper left corner of the explorer, click . In the My Content area of the home page, notice that the report is not in the Recent list. Only objects that you create or open are in the Recent list. If you want to navigate to the report, click Browse.

The preceding steps export content to SAS metadata as a report. The following table lists some other ways to share the contents of an exploration. First, make sure that the exploration is saved in a shared folder so that it is accessible to other users.
