An information map is a collection of
data items and filters that provides a business-specific view of physical
data. An information map consists of SAS metadata that describes data
in terms that users can readily understand. The information map enables
business users to query data for specific business needs. An information
map can be based on either of the following types of data:
-
OLAP data (multidimensional data on a SAS OLAP Server)
-
relational data (two-dimensional data on
a SAS server or in a third-party database)
Information
maps are created by using SAS Information Map Studio or by using the
INFOMAPS procedure.
When you
click on an information map, it opens in SAS Web Report
Studio or SAS Web Report Viewer as a SAS report.
