How to import a shared analysis
If somebody sends you a link to an analysis, you import it into your own analyses. You then have the setup in your list and can change it as you like.
How to import a shared analysis
- Open the link you were sent.
- The Import analysis dialog asks Import … to your analyses?
- Confirm.
The analysis now sits in your analysis list, marked Imported.
If you'd rather not import, cancel — you land back in the analysis overview.
What you get, and what you don't
You get the setup: which timeseries are selected, how they're grouped, colours and settings. The analysis becomes yours — you're the owner and can edit freely.
You don't get a live link to the original. The message says so: After importing, edit and use this analysis. If the original changes, ask for a new link and import it again.
Note: If the sender changes the analysis after you've imported it, nothing happens to your copy. If you're unsure whether you have the latest version, the answer is to ask for a new link — there's no refresh button.
If the graph is empty after importing
The analysis points at timeseries in a building. If you see the setup but no curves, it's usually one of two things:
- You lack access to the building the timeseries live in.
- The period has no data — widen the period and see whether the curves appear.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import the same analysis several times?
Yes, but then you get several copies in your list. Give them names you can tell apart if you're doing it deliberately.
Does editing the imported one change the original?
No. The copy is yours, and the sender notices nothing.
Can I share it onwards?
Yes. Use Share on your copy — see How to share an analysis.
How do I see which analyses were imported?
They're marked Imported in the list.
Tip!
Give the imported analysis a name saying where it came from and what it was meant to show. In six months, Imported is the only trace that the analysis isn't your own — and by then it's impossible to remember which question it was built to answer.
