Posting graphs to a Web site

To post a graph or layout to an FTP server

Drop the File menu and choose Post to Web, and choose to send the current sheet, all graphs or all layouts.

Prism will post the graphs (or layouts) on your FTP server and create an index page. Immediately after posting the graphs, Prism will launch your browser, and take you to that page. Copy the URL of the created page and email it to others so they can view your graphs.

Prism posts only pictures of your graphs or layouts for others to view. It does not upload the Prism file itself.

Specifying the FTP server

Before you can post to a Web site or FTP server, you must configure Prism to do so. Drop the Edit menu (Prism menu if you use Mac OS X), choose Preferences, and then choose the Post to Web tab. This dialog also will come up the first time you click on the Post to a Web site button in the Send section of the Prism toolbar.

Enter the ftp URL and your account name and password (if required). You must also enter the URL to use to view these files (Prism will append the folder and file name). If your server is behind a firewall that prevents incoming FTP connections, check the option to use passive mode so Prism will initiate data connections rather than asking the server to connect back to your computer. You may want to ask your webmaster for help in configuring these FTP settings.

Prism 5, unlike Prism 4, doesn't support posting to SmartDrawNet. Instead of posting graphs to a Website, try emailing complete Prism files to your colleagues and having them use the free Prism Viewer.
