Create a New Project

In SAS Enterprise Miner, you store your work in projects. A project can contain multiple process flow diagrams and information that pertains to them.
Tip
For organizational purposes, it is a good idea to create a separate project for each major data mining problem that you want to investigate.
To create the project that you will use in this example:
  1. Open SAS Enterprise Miner.
  2. In the Welcome to Enterprise Miner window, click New Project. The Create New Project Wizard opens.
  3. Proceed through the steps below to complete the wizard. Contact your system administrator if you need to be granted directory access or if you are unsure about the details of your site's configuration.
    1. Select the logical workspace server to use. Click Next.
    2. Enter Getting Started Charitable Giving Example as the Project Name.
      The SAS Server Directory is the directory on the server machine in which SAS data sets and other files that are generated by the project will be stored. It is likely that your site is configured in such a way that the default path is appropriate for this example. Click Next.
    3. The SAS Folder Location is the directory on the server machine in which the project itself will be stored. It is likely that your site is configured in such a way that the default path is appropriate for the example project that you are about to create. Click Next.
      Note: If you complete this example over multiple sessions, then this is the location to which you should navigate after you select Open Project in the Welcome to Enterprise Miner window.
    4. Click Finish.
