Saving and Updating the Subject

Saving

1. You can save an analysis subject with all its resources (including dataset editing operations) to prevent step loss.

2. If you exit the subject without saving it, you can read Special Archive in Version Management the next time you go to the subject to access the automatically saved draft.

3. You can perform visualization analysis without updates after data editing.

For details, see Saving an Analysis Subject.

Updating

If you click Update, datasets and the components/dashboards/analysis documents in the subject will be updated. The latest status will only be displayed when you preview the subject and the resources in the subject.

You can update the subject only after you save it.

You can view the update progress of data in Update Information.

Sharing and Publishing

You can publish the analyzed datasets, dashboards, and analysis subjects or share analysis subjects with others for collaborative editing.

For details, see Collaboration, Publishing Visualization Resources, Data Publish, and Dashboard Sharing Overview.

Version Restoration

If you need to save intermediate versions to prevent operation loss or to restore an old version of the subject, you can save the subject as a version and perform restoration in Version Management.

For details, see Saving an Analysis Subject.

1. You can first process data and create components and dashboards with an upper limit of 100K rows of the data volume, which can be adjusted at any time for data processing during the creation.

2. During analysis, if you need more data volumes (such as not enough filter values displayed), you can switch the upper limit of the data volume to 10 million rows. This process is to quickly turn analysis ideas into charts.

If the total data volume exceeds 10 million rows, you need to update the subject and view components and dashboards with the updated data. If the data is directly connected, you can switch the upper limit of the data volume to full volume for viewing.

3. Once the subject visualization creation is completed, you can save the subject and exit subject editing.

Note: If the subject uses extracted data and you have resources published to the directory/public data/public links, you need to immediately update the subject after saving it. Only after the data update is completed can others view the latest data.

4. If you need to share and publish the subject, after exiting subject editing, you can preview the display effect for sharing with others on the subject preview page. Besides, you can publish the subject to the directory or create public links on the page.
