Open and Edit Discoveries

There are a few different ways to open saved data discoveries. Once the discovery is opened, you can edit as needed, as long as you have the required permissions (continue reading for more information).

Open Discoveries

Data discoveries can be opened from the Content Manager, the Quick Open menu, the Pyramid homepage, and using a direct link.

Content Manager

Open

Click on the item to open it in Discover, where you can edit it.

Context Menu

Open the item's context menu and select Open or Open in Maintenance Mode.

  • Open: the discovery will be opened and you can edit it.
  • Open in Maintenance Mode: once the query is run, the discovery will no longer be in maintenance mode and can be edited.

Actions Panel

Open the item's Actions Panel and go to the Versioning tab. Find the required version and click its edit icon to open the item in Discover.

Quick Open

Quick Open (green arrow) offers a fast way to find and open content without leaving the App Tab interface. Click this option to open an explorer-like interface and access files from your private folder (My Content) and any Workgroup or Public folders you have access to. The pop-up also contains a "search by name" facility and lets you open files from Recent and Favorite locations. For more information, see Quick Open.

Homepage

If the Welcome page has been dismissed, data discoveries can be accessed directly from the homepage. In this case, recently accessed and favorite content will appear on the homepage. Click the relevant content item to open it.

Direct Link

Data discoveries can be opened and shared using a direct link.

Edit Discoveries

The ability to edit a discovery is governed by user roles and license type. Only Pro Users can edit content, while Viewers can only open and interact with content.

As a Pro User, you can edit any content items that are saved to your My Content and Workgroup Content domains. However, public content can only be edited by users belonging to a role that was assigned Write or Manage permissions to that content item.

Save your changes

Once you've edited the discovery, you can click Save above the canvas to save changes. Tip: If you want to discard your changes, just close the discovery without saving it.

Other Save Options

Alternatively, you can open the tab menu to:

  • Save: as above.
  • Save as: save the discovery under a different name, and to a different folder.
  • Save and close: save changes and close the discovery.
  • Save as new version: save a new version of the discovery. For more information, see Content Versioning.

Other topics

  • If your Discovery includes one or more slicers, you might want to use a bookmark to set your slicer selections to your favorite or frequently-used values. For more information, see Bookmarks.
