Publishing view images


Use the following procedure to publish a tabular view and its chart to other users. This procedure places JPEG files of the view and its chart (if one is open) in a local directory, along with an HTML file.

When a user double-clicks the HTML file, the view and its chart are displayed in a web browser. This option enables users to see a view without being logged on to MainView Explorer. The published view can be put into auto-refresh mode, which enables users to display the latest data by clicking the Reload button on their browsers. The view remains available to other users until you discontinue the publishing process.


Important

You cannot publish an alternate form of a view. The tab icon for an alternate form, GUID-5D83AB3D-ECC8-4991-89C3-BEF401248E5E-low.png, does not have a magnifying glass on it.

To publish a view to a file

  1. From a tabular view or chart, perform one of the following actions:
    • On the view toolbar, click the Publish view images GUID-2DA2E4A6-6633-4496-AA8F-CFED73DE85F7-low.pngbutton.
    • Right-click the view tab or the blank part of the toolbar and select Publish view images.
  2. From the Choose a directory dialog, select a local directory in which you want to save the JPEG and HTML files, and click the Open button.
  3. With the directory open, click the Save button.The file names that are generated consist of the view name (unless you change it) and the extensions .jpg and .html. The files are replaced each time the view is refreshed, either manually or by automatic data refresh.

To stop publishing a view

From a view or chart that is currently being published, perform one of the following actions:

  • On the view toolbar, click the Publish view images GUID-2DA2E4A6-6633-4496-AA8F-CFED73DE85F7-low.pngbutton.
  • Right-click the view tab or the blank part of the toolbar and select Publish view images.

The JPEG and HTML files that were saved in a local directory are no longer updated.
