Additional Interface Items
There are additional items throughout SAS/ASSIST software that help you use the product. These interface items are used in the same way throughout SAS/ASSIST software, and are described below.
| Select Table Window |
The Select Table window is the interface that SAS/ASSIST software uses to select tables for tasks. Use of this window is described in Getting Started with SAS/ASSIST. Some additional features are described below.
-
When you select a library in the left pane, the list in the right pane automatically adjusts itself to include only those tables in the selected library.
-
You can use the Find button to search for tables by table name, or to find a table containing a column with a given name.
| Select Table Variables Window |
The Select Table Variables window is the interface that SAS/ASSIST software uses to select columns from tables ("variable" is another word for "column"). Use of this window is described in Getting Started with SAS/ASSIST.
| Utilities Menu |
Most of the submenus on the Tasks menu contain a Utilities item. The Utilities menus are specific to the task menus in which they appear and contain items to help you manage data and perform tasks.
| Additional Options |
The Additional Options item on a task window enables you to access detailed features of a task. This item is specific to the window from which it is selected. For example, when you select Additional Options from the List a table window under Report Writing, the Additional Options window that appears enables you to format the report listing you are creating. However, if you select Additional Options from the Summary Statistics window by using Elementary on the Data Analysis menu, the Additional Options window displays information that enables you to manipulate the columns for which you are creating statistics.
