Viewing Externally Created Reports

SAS Web Report Studio enables users to view and, in some cases, modify reports that are created by using a variety of other SAS products, including SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java, SAS Output Delivery System (ODS), and SAS Enterprise Guide. You view a shared, externally created report in the same way that you view a saved report.
There is no definitive list of default features for an externally created report because the features depend on the application that was used to create the report. Some externally created reports support the same features as a saved report. Other reports, such as those created by using SAS Enterprise Guide or ODS, cannot be modified, although report authors can use SAS Web Report Studio to add new sections. The added sections will support the standard editing features.
SAS Web Report Studio 4.2 supports the ability to open PDF output that is generated from ODS.
Note: A report generated from ODS is different than the reports that are created by SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java and SAS Enterprise Guide.
SAS Web Report Studio opens PDF output from ODS in a separate window. However, HTML output from ODS, which is similar to output from SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java and SAS Enterprise Guide, opens in a SAS Web Report Studio window.
You can access PDF output from ODS by using either the Open dialog box or the File Management window in SAS Web Report Studio.
Note: This documentation focuses on tasks that you can perform on reports that are created by using SAS Web Report Studio.
