Another word game - need a word sort of like "template"
Subject:Another word game - need a word sort of like "template" From:Hannah Drake <hannah -at- formulatrix -dot- com> To:techwr-l <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:07:11 -0500
Hi guys.
So we have developed some "canned" searches for part of our software, but
we disabled saving so they can't alter the search settings and ruin it for
colleagues. Save As isn't possible right now with our release being in the
next few days. So it's not quite a template, but it WILL teach them how to
analyze through and mine their data.
They can mine their data by telling the "template" which results to
analyze, and then it will compute some nice charts and so on and so forth.
They can make these searches themselves, but it's pretty complicated for a
beginner (which is why we made these..."templates").
What do we call the folder we are keeping them in?? Ready....go!
