Saving Platform Results in Journals
Save platform reports for future viewing by creating a journal of the report window. The journal is a copy of the report window. You can edit or append additional reports to an existing journal. The journal is not connected to the data table. A journal is an easy way to save the results from several report windows in a single report window that you can share with others.
Example: Creating a Journal

Journal of Distribution Results
The results in the journal are not connected to the data table. In the Type bar chart, if you click the Computer bar, no rows are selected in the data table.
Since the journal is a copy of your results, most of the red triangle menus do not exist. A journal does have a red triangle menu for each new report that you add to the journal. This menu has two options:
Rerun in new window
If you have the original data table that was used to create the original report, this option runs the analysis again. The result is a new report window.
Edit Script
This option opens a script window that contains a JSL script to re-create the analysis. JSL is a more advanced topic that is covered in the Scripting Guide.
Adding Additional Analyses
If you perform another analysis, you can add the results of the analysis to the existing journal.
1.
With a journal open, select Analyze > Distribution.
2.
Select profit/emp and click Y, Columns.
3.
Click OK.
