Your History List is an area in MicroStrategy Web where you can store the results of Visual Insight analyses. You can add an analysis to the History List in the following ways:
You can send the results of an analysis to your History List while you are viewing the analysis results. To do so, from the analysis toolbar, click the Add to History List icon. This places a copy of the results in your History List for you to view again later.
If you own MicroStrategy Distribution Services, you can have analysis results automatically sent to your History List on a specific schedule. For steps to subscribe to an analysis and have it delivered to your History List, see Scheduling an analysis to be sent to the History List.
Analysis results do not remain in the History List indefinitely. The number of results that each user can have in the History List and the length of time they remain there are defined by your MicroStrategy administrator.
You must have the Web Visual Insight and Execute Document or Analysis privileges.
Click History List at the top of any page. The History List folder is displayed, with a list of reports, documents, and analyses that have been added to the History List. The status of each analysis is listed in the Status column, as follows:
Ready: The execution of the analysis is complete.
Waiting in Queue: The analysis has not yet executed. It is executed when all objects ahead of it in the queue are completed or removed.
Error: The analysis execution process returned an error or was invalid. Click the link to see the error page. If the analysis can still execute successfully, you may be sent to the wait page while it executes. Some reasons for an invalid analysis include an analysis that has been removed or changed in the system, has problems with its definition, or contains errors of another type.
You can click the Refresh my History List icon to update all current statuses.
You can sort items in the History List by Name, Status, or Message Creation Time. Click the sort triangle in either the Name, Status, or Message Creation Time column headings. The reports, documents, and analyses in the History List are sorted according to the selected column heading. Click again to reverse the sort order.
You can see which report or Intelligent Cube is used as the dataset for an analysis in the History List. Select the Show children reports for documents icon at the top left of the History List. A list of reports is displayed for each document and analysis in the History List.
To view the analysis as a static PDF file, click the PDF icon in the row that contains the analysis you want to view. A PDF of the analysis is displayed.
To view the details of an analysis, click the Details icon in the row that contains the analysis whose details you want to view. The Document Details page opens, with information such as the owner of the analysis, the name of the report used to create the analysis, and so on.
To rename analysis results, select the Rename icon for the results you want to rename, then type a new name in the field. Click the Apply icon .
To remove analysis results, select the check box for each link you want to remove and click Remove. You can remove all report, document, analysis, or Intelligent Cube results from the History List by clicking the Clear my History List icon.
