Add Data Sources

The first step in creating an information map is to add data sources. Data sources are references to tables or cubes that are accessed through a SAS Application Server.
To add as data sources the tables that you defined in chapter 3:
  1. Make sure that you have started SAS Information Map Studio and are using the connection profile that you created in chapter 3.
  2. On the toolbar, click New information map to open a new information map.
  3. In the SAS Information Map Studio main window, select the Application Servers tab in the Resources pane.
  4. In the Show drop-down list, select Tables.
  5. Make sure that the SAS Application Server node (Icon) that your tables are associated with is expanded.
  6. Expand the Sample Employee Data library node (Icon) that contains the tables that you want to add as data sources.
  7. Select the EMPINFO and SALARY tables (Icon) and drag them to the Selected Resources pane to add them as data sources.
