Administering SAS BI Dashboard

Enable users to manage alerts by selecting Manage Alerts within SAS BI Dashboard 4.31.

Configure e-mail properties to enable alerts. See Setting Up Indicator Alerts for SAS BI Dashboard Users.

(Optional) Configure data source XML files in order to specify the data sources that are created by data designers in your organization. See SAS Data Sets for SAS BI Dashboard. (This administrator's guide does not describe how to create data sources.) Note that .dsx files are already configured for SAS BI Dashboard, and they can be enabled by removing delimiters within the files.

(Optional) Implement security in order to manage user access to dashboards objects. See Implementing Security for SAS BI Dashboard. No special administrative tasks are required to implement security.

(Optional) Enable users to edit and delete comments in SAS Comment Manager. In order to edit and delete comments, users must be added to the predefined role, Comments:Administrator. Beginning with SAS 9.3, this predefined role is available. For more information, see “SAS Comment Manager” in SAS Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.

(Optional) Improve the performance of SAS BI Dashboard. See Managing SAS BI Dashboard Performance.
