You can use Edit mode to create a report. To create a new report from scratch, complete these steps:

How Edit Mode Appears

You can perform most of the required tasks in either Edit or View mode. Tasks that are specific to Edit mode include linking reports, adding group breaks, positioning objects (such as tables, graphs, geographical maps, and images), and working with the layout grid (for example, splitting and merging cells). For differences between using the two modes, see Your First Look at the SAS Web Report Studio User Interface.

You can drag report and graph objects and drop them onto the layout.

The steps for defining queries and designing layouts are explained in the following chapters:

Positioning Objects in the Layout Grid.
Defining Queries to Obtain Results.
