Finding Your Way Around

When you start SAS Environment Manager Administration, the application displays the Folders module. This view enables you to view and manage SAS folders and the metadata objects that they contain.

To switch to a different module, click the Side Menu icon to open the Side Menu, which displays a list of all of the available modules. Click on a module name to open it and view the specific objects that the module manages.

As you open object definitions in the modules, the object counter icon in the toolbar keeps track of the definitions that are open and provides easy access to an open definition. The counter on the icon indicates the number of object definitions that are open. Click on the icon to display a menu of all open definitions. Select an item in the menu to go to that definition. An asterisk beside an entry in the menu indicates that the definition has been changed but not yet saved.

When you are viewing a table of object definitions in a module, you can click on a column heading to sort or filter the table. Clicking the Options icon in a table enables you to select the columns that you want to display.

Object definitions open on the Basic Properties page. The title of the page is displayed at the top of the page, next to the entry’s name. To view other property pages for the definition, click on the page title to display a menu of the page titles.
