By publishing your model directly to the Analytica Cloud Player (ACP), you eliminate the need for your end-users to install Analytica on their computer before viewing your model. This also makes it possible for users on non-Windows platforms to use and view your model. The model is uploaded directly to Lumina’s Cloud server, and you simply send your end-users an invitation to view your model with a URL link to access the model.

ACP account types: Signing up for an ACP individual account is free. You can upload models to your account at any time, and as long as your Analytica support is active, your account allows 25 user sessions per month at no cost1. You also receive 25 sessions credits to be used in the first 12 months when you sign up for an ACP individual account, even if you do not have active support. If you foresee higher user loads, you can pre-purchase additional session credits.

ACP group accounts are also available, and are appropriate for collaborative projects and higher usage situations. Group accounts include the ability for end-users to save changes to inputs in snapshot files, to manage multiple users and multiple projects, and to control access permissions to different models. Group accounts involve a monthly or annual subscription cost, and include a high level of user sessions.

For further information on ACP accounts types, please visit http://www.lumina.com/products/analytica-cloud-player/

Uploading / Publishing: To publish a model to ACP, open the model in Analytica, then select File → Publish to cloud....

If you already have an ACP account set up, the following dialog appears:

The ACP model name may optionally be different from your local file name, which you may take advantage of if you keep multiple local file revisions, or conversely want to publish different revisions. When you press Publish, the model is uploaded to the cloud. You have three options for what happens once the upload completes:

  • Open ACP model folder page
  • Open model in ACP
  • Do nothing

Opening the model in ACP consumes a session credit, while viewing the model folder page does not. From the folder page, you have the option of launching the model.

You can also jump to the ACP model folder page by selecting File → Manage published models....

Setting up an ACP account: The first time you select Publish to cloud..., the dialog will open in the Configure account tab.

If you do not already have an account, click the sign up link to sign up for a free ACP individual account. Once you have an ACP account, enter your account information and press OK. For detailed steps on signing up for an ACP account, please see Chapter 8 of the Analytica Tutorial.
