Tips for Working with Information Maps

Using SAS Information Map Studio

You can use SAS Information Map Studio to test existing information maps and to create more complex information maps that join tables, establish pre-filters, and change aggregation statistics. If you do modify an existing information map with SAS Information Map Studio, save the new map under a different name.
