The Analytica Cloud Platform (ACP) offers a variety of user-interface styles and features useful for web applications, and not available in desktop Analytica. These include navigation styles with tabs across the top or down the left side, node styles, and Frame nodes to show tables and graphs embedded in a Diagram. Using the ACP Style Library makes it much easier to select these styles than setting special flags and codes in the AcpStyles attributes of the model. You should first import this library into desktop Analytica.
How to install the ACP Style library
The ACP Style library is included as a standard Analytica library, but we recommend using the most recent ACP Style library version which you can download here: Media:ACP_style_library.ana, since there have been major enhancements recently.
After downloading the library into a folder, you can read it into your model:
- Make sure you are in edit mode.
- Click File menu > Add Module...
- Select ACP Styles.ANA' from the folder into which you saved the file and click Open
The 'ACP Styles library' will appear in the diagram:
Upload your model into ACP
Once you've imported the ACP Styles library into your model, you can use it to set ACP styles in desktop Analytica. But, it's better to do in in ACP so you can immediately see the effects of each setting.
If you have an ACP account, you can upload your model into ACP from inside Analytica on the desktop:
- From the File menu, select Publish to cloud..
Otherwise, you can upload your model from inside ACP"
- Start up ACP from [1]
- Sign in (or sign up if you don't yet have an ACP account).
- When you see the Models tab, click the Upload button.
- Follow the file browser prompts to upload your model into ACP
- Click the name of your uploaded model to start it up in ACP.
How to set ACP styles
The easiest way to see what each option does is just to select from the menu or (uncheck) the checkbox. ACP will immediately show the effect of the changed style. The Default styles for tables and graphs show in the "Preview result" just to the right. A few, like the "Fly-in" option for Index menus show the Pivot icon only when you move your cursor over the "Preview result".
You can also move your cursor over each control to see its description in a balloon, in the usual way.
