SAS Web Report
Studio 4.31 administration includes these additional features:
-
Users'
folders for SAS Web Report Studio can be located anywhere below the
SAS
Folders directory in the
Folders tab
of SAS Management Console.
-
Three
predefined roles are available for SAS Web Report Studio with certain
capabilities that are assigned to these roles initially. These predefined
roles include Report Viewing, Report Creation, and Advanced. You are
not required to use predefined roles. You can create roles and capabilities
that meet the needs of your organization. You can determine the number
of roles to create, which features are available for each role, and
control other aspects of role-based behavior.
-
The Report Distribution Wizard enables you to create
and edit recipient lists by specifying recipient names and e-mail
addresses, and channel information within the wizard's dialog boxes.
-
When users
need to view a report, and are transferred by an external application
such as the SAS Information Delivery Portal, those users can be transferred
to SAS Web Report Studio (if the application is installed). The functionality
offered by SAS Web Report Studio is determined by the capabilities
assigned to these users.
-
You can set security measures to limit
SAS Web Report Studio to interact only with information maps that
are in designated locations. For example, you might limit the availability
of all relational information maps because some of those information
maps include row-level permissions.
-
Logging is accomplished with log4j.
-
In
previous versions of SAS Web Report Studio, the
LocalProperties.xml
file
offered the only practical method to override properties and their
values. Although this file is available and supported in SAS Web Report
Studio 4.31, it is recommended that you use the Configuration Manager
in SAS Management Console to configure and set properties for SAS
Web Report Studio. The Configuration Manager plug-in offers a consistent
interface to set properties for all SAS applications.
-
You can add disclaimer text to tables
and graphics, and the text appears below all tables and graphics in
reports.
-
In previous versions of SAS Web
Report Studio, the
WebReportStudioProperties.xml
file
was used. Now, the
Advanced tab in the
Web
Report Studio Properties 4.3 dialog box is used to specify
property names and property values.
-
SAS
Web Report Studio 4.31 maintains a working area that is hidden from
users. This working area, which is located at
/System/Applications/SAS
Web Report Studio/Web Report Studio 4.3
, is accessed
by using the SAS Management Console. This location might store shared
content such as images.
-
Banner images are stored in the
/Web
Report Studio 4.3/BannerImages
folder. Sample conditional
highlighting image files are deployed in the
/Web Report
Studio 4.3/ConditionalHighlightingImages
folder.
-
In previous releases of SAS software, if client-side
pooling was configured, SAS Web Report Studio 3.1 required that the
pooling administrator's user name and password be stored in the metadata.
With SAS Web Report Studio 4.31, this requirement has been waived.
Previously, SAS Web Report Studio 3.1 stored credentials for the Web
administrator (saswbadm) and pooling administrator in the
WebReportStudioProperties.xml
file.
This is no longer true with SAS Web Report Studio 4.31.
-
The log file,
SASBIReportServices4.3.log
,
is created when you first run the report output generation tool with
default permissions.
-
You can change the location of
the temporary workspace for SAS Web Report Studio and SAS Web Report
Viewer.
