Capturing a Script for an Analysis Report
Here are the basic steps for capturing a script to reproduce an analysis:
1. Launch a platform, such as Distribution.
2. Make any changes or additions that you need. For example, add tests and other graphs.
3. Capture the script to recreate your results.
You can save the script in the data table, so that if you send the data table to others, they can run your script and duplicate your reports.
