Saving SharpCharts
Are you a subscriber and need to know how to save a chart? Below are step-by-step instructions for saving new charts, saving changes to existing charts, and saving existing charts to a different ChartList.
Saving a New Chart
The first step is to create your chart in the SharpCharts Workbench. Once the chart is created, you'll be ready to save.
How To Save Charts in the Classic SharpCharts Workbench
Click the Save As link (above the chart, underneath the ChartList dropdown).
A popup will appear where you can enter the chart's title or use the default one that's provided. Extra and Pro members can select which ChartList they want the chart to be saved to (Basic members have only one ChartList). Once you've chosen the name and ChartList, click the Add New button to save the chart.
How To Save Charts in the New SharpCharts Workbench
Click the Save button (see image below).
In the Save Chart popup, select the ChartList where you wish to save the chart, create a name for the chart, and in the Advanced Options dropdown, add any comments specific to the chart. Then click on Save New Chart. You'll see a banner indicating you've successfully saved your chart.
Saving Updates to an Existing Chart
If you have opened a saved chart in the Classic SharpCharts Workbench and made changes to the chart, you can save the chart again with the changes. To do that, click the Save link above the chart, underneath the ChartList dropdown (see below).
A popup will appear with the chart's title, which you can change. Click the Save button. This will override the existing saved chart with the updated changes you made.
In the New SharpCharts Workbench, when you make a change in a chart, click the Save button. You'll see a popup that gives you the choice to either save the chart with the changes (Save Chart), move the chart to a different ChartList (Move Chart), or save the chart as a new chart (Save As New).
Note: Extra and Pro members can have more than one ChartList.
If you wish to save your chart as a new chart, you could click the Save As button, which is next to the Save button
Saving an Existing Chart to a New ChartList
Extra and Pro members can open an existing chart and save it to a different ChartList (Basic members have only one ChartList). This allows you to have multiple copies of the same chart in different ChartLists.
First, open up the existing chart in the SharpCharts Workbench. Next, make any changes you want to the chart. Once you are ready to save the chart to a different ChartList, click the Save As link located above the chart directly below the ChartList dropdown.
A popup will appear with the chart's title and a dropdown list of your ChartLists. Click the ChartList dropdown and select the ChartList to which you want your chart to be saved. You can also provide the chart with a different title if you prefer. Once done, click the Save button.
Cool Tip. If you want to save a duplicate version of a chart to the same ChartList, use the Save As option and keep the ChartList dropdown selection as is. Simply alter the chart title so it is not the same as the already saved chart, then click the Save button. You can save duplicate charts to the same ChartList if the chart titles are different.
