• "Copy workspace link to clipboard": This copies a (long!) URL to the clipboard that will return you to the current query, community set, and widget set when pasted into a browser. 
  • Note this URL is too long for some applications to handle (eg gmail unfortunately) - a forthcoming release will use a link shortener.
• "Create PDF for current data view": This will open a new tab containing a PDF that contains screenshots of all the open widgets together with information about the query that was used.
  • (Widgets can be programmed to write more detailed information into the PDF, though currently only the Doc Browser widget takes advantage of this.)
  • As an alternative the second section of this blog post describes generating per-widget screenshots. This has been very popular for creating "quickview" presentations.
• "Export JSON for current data": This saves a file to local disk containing the JSON returned from the query. The format is described here.

TODO

widget exportsOne final export mechanism is another optional part of the widget API, and is currently supported by the following widgets:

• Event graph: exports the graph to GraphML (all edges/nodes except those filtered out)
• Map: export to KML

The screenshot of a widget header below shows the icon that appears when this per-widget export is enabled:

It is also possible to load and save queries (JSON) to disk, from the "Advanced Query Builder".

Alerting using RSS

The final option in the "Options" screenshot above ("Create RSS feed for current query") has been very popular with our usersTODO. Selecting that option opens a new tab in the browser containing a (long!) URL that generates an RSS feed for the current query. This feed can be used in RSS readers or alerting tools supporting RSS (an access key is embedded in the URL so no authentication is required on the RSS reader side).
