Saved R reports may be accessed from the source data grid or from the Data Views web part. This topic describes how to manage saved R reports and how they can be shared with other users (who already have access to the underlying data).
Performance Note
Once saved, reports are generated by re-running their associated scripts on live data. This ensures users always have the most current views, but it also requires computational resources each time the view is opened. If your script is computationally intensive, you can set it to run in the background so that it does not overwhelm your server when selected for viewing. Learn more in this topic:
R Report Builder.
Edit an R Report Script
Open your saved R report by clicking the name in the data views web part or by selecting it from the
(Charts and Reports) menu above the data grid on which it is based. This opens the R report builder interface on the
Data tab. Select the
Source tab to edit the script and manage sharing and other options. Click
Save when finished.
Delete an R Report
You can delete a saved report by first clicking the pencil icon at the top of the Data Views web part, then click the pencil to the left of the report name. In the popup window, click
Delete. You can also multi-select R reports for deletion on the
Manage Views page.
Note that deleting a report eliminates its associated script from the "Shared Scripts" list in the R report interface. Make sure that you don’t delete a script that is called (sourced) by other scripts you need.
