How to: |
You can import and export a page, save a page, and add pre-processing or post-processing code to a document. The Files Utility group is shown in the following image.
The commands are:
Saves the document. This command is available only for a document or active dashboard.
Saves the page you are currently on. This command is available only for a document or active dashboard.
Creates code that is used before the document is processed. This command is available only for a document or active dashboard.
Creates code that is used after the document is processed. This command is available only for a document or active dashboard.
Refreshes the document.
You can create a pre-process code that applies to all components added to a document. For example, if the components in your document all require the joining of two tables, you can create a pre-process code before adding the components. This feature eliminates the need to create a Join before each component is added to the document.
In addition, you can create a post-process code that runs after all of the components have been added to a document.
A new canvas and the Procedure View panel open. The new canvas will show the document name, an underscore, and the words, Pre-process. For example, if you are applying a pre-process code to Document1, the canvas is titled, Document1_Pre-Process.
Now, you can add components to the document that will use the pre-process code.
After you have added components to your Document, you can apply a post-process code that removes the pre-process code when the procedure is run. For example, if you apply a Join pre-process code, add a report, a chart and format the Document, you can apply a post-process code that removes the Join when the procedure is run.
A new canvas and the Procedure View panel open. The new canvas will show the document name, an underscore, and the words, Post-process. For example, if you are applying a post-process code to Document1 the canvas will be, Document1_Post-Process.
The View group allows you to display or hide the panels associated with a document or active dashboard. The View group is shown in the following image.
The commands are:
Toggles the visibility of the Properties panel.
Toggles the visibility of the Settings panel.
Toggles the visibility of the Thumbnails panel.
