Tutorial: Sharing a model with ACP
Once you have built your own model, others can view and use it using Analytica Free 101, or you can make it available on the web with Analytica Cloud Player (ACP).
In this chapter, you will learn how to share models with others. In particular, you will:
- Learn how to instruct someone to install Analytica Free 101
- Set up an Analytica Cloud account.
- Upload a model to your Cloud account
- Send an invite yourself or a friend to view your model on the Web.
- View and navigate your model in ACP.
Once you have created an Analytica model, you may wish to share it with others. Other stake-holders will find an Analytica model to be dramatically richer and more informative than a static report showing your computed results. The visual influence diagrams enable people to under-stand how results have been computed, assumptions used, and variables and interrelationships that impact the analysis. An ability to change inputs and recompute results interactively enables stakeholders to easily question assumptions, try their own, and understand the impact of different assumptions. And the ability to interactively pivot multi-dimensional result tables and graphs allows others to visualize your results in ways not easily facilitated by static reports. There are two straightforward methods for sharing your model:
- Send your Analytica (*.ana) model files to them either as an email attachment, or by posting on a shared file system or file repository.
- Post your model to the Analytica Cloud Player server and send your colleagues a URL.
In the first case, your colleagues will need to have Analytica installed, or will need to install the Free 101 edition, in order to view your model. In the second case, your users need only have internet access with a Flash-enabled browser.
