R Module Overview

Overview

The R Module allows a user to execute R scripts. R is a programming language that is used for statistical computing and graphics.

ProjectHub

A dependency must be made with the R module before any of the module's functionality can be accessed within a Project. All scripts are kept within a folder under the Manage section: [Project Name] > Manage > Integrations > Scripting. 

Starting in v9.2 there is the ADD SCRIPT FOLDER action that will create new scripting folders within the primary R folder.
