About Managing Data Tables

The Data category enables you to manage your list of data tables from withinSAS Business Rules Manager. You can create new Base SAS libraries, add and remove tables, view table data and metadata, create and delete table summaries, and associate attachments and comments with tables. The application uses these data tables whenever it needs to access data, such as for rule discovery and rule flow testing.

You can view the list of tables by selecting Data

Tables. There are three ways to add tables to the list.

You can use SAS Visual Data Builder to create new tables and add them to the list. See Adding Tables Using SAS Visual Data Builder for more information.
If the table is already registered in the SAS Metadata Repository, you can add the table to the list as described in Add a Table That Is Registered in Metadata.
If the table is not already registered in the SAS Metadata Repository, you can add a new table as described in Register and Add New Tables.

Note: Tables added to the Data category view must be created with the BASE engine.

Note: If you do not have the appropriate permissions to access a folder, then the tables and libraries are not listed in the Data category view.
