# Sharing a Model

After you have built a predictive model in Spotfire, you can export it to a file on your desktop or on a network, or you can export it to the Spotfire library for use by others who have similar datasets.

## About this task

The Analytic Models pane option is a toggle: To display it, or to hide it, click the option in the View menu. In this task, the Analytic Models pane is not yet displayed.

## Before you begin

You have a predictive model to share with others.

## Procedure

1. On the menu, click View > Analytic Models.
2. From the Analytic Models pane, select the model to export, and then click the Export icon () for that model.
   The Save As dialog box is displayed, and you are prompted to save the file as a Spotfire Analytic Model File (.rds).
3. Name the file, and then save it to the location of your choice.
   You can now share this analytic model with others, who can use it in various ways:
   - In TERR, running under a different application such as Streambase®.
   - In handling live events or in TIBCO BusinessEvents®.
   - In TERR running under Spotfire® Statistics Services.
   - In another DXP file. For example, you could use this particular model with previous or subsequent years of baseball records.
