The main features of
the
Resource workspace are accessed from
the workspace bar. The workspace bar of the
Resource workspace
contains the following icons:
-
updates the window with the latest information.
-
displays all the resources on this window.
-
lists only information that pertains to the first
resource name. Reports with multiple resource names are hidden.
-
sorts the content on this workspace by
Resource
Name or
Resource Type. The
Sort dialog
box appears as shown in the following display.
You can sort in ascending
or descending order by
Resource Name or
Resource
Type. Use the right and left arrows to move a selected
sort item to the Sort By column. The columns are sorted in ascending
order by default. To change the sort order, click the
Sort
Direction field for the item that you want to sort. Then
click the order that you want to sort by. Then click
OK.
Tip
You can change the sort order
of the selected items by using the up and down arrows on the right
side of the column.
-
changes the information that is displayed on the
window. The
Manage Columns dialog box appears,
as shown in the following display.
Manage Columns Dialog Box
The previous dialog
box shows that the
Resource workspace is
displaying the Resource Name, Resource Type, Domain Category, Report
Count, and Most recent Creation Date by default. To remove any of
these columns from the workspace, select it and then use the arrows
to move that column to the
Available columns list.
Note: This change persists from
one session to the next.
-
The
Open menu
(
) displays these options for a selected resource:
-
Click
Open
to display the reports for that resource. The reports appear as
a gallery using the default grid view.
Reports that pertain
to a selected resource might exist in multiple root locations. If
a user belongs to several root locations, all the reports (across
all the root locations to which the user belongs) are displayed.
Reports with partially
matching nodes are merged when displayed. For example, suppose there
are two sets of reports. One set of reports has only one variable.
The other set has two variables. (One of these variables matches the
variable of the first set of reports.) When displayed, the two resource
hierarchies are merged into one hierarchy. That is, both sets of reports
are displayed under the variable that was common to both sets of reports.
Note: If the number of reports
seems incorrect, refresh the cache for the root location. This can
be done by a SAS administrator on the
Administration workspace.
In the following display,
the B77A resource was selected on the workspace that was displayed
in the “Overview of the Resource Workspace” topic.
Example of the List of Reports by Resource Action

the same workspace, as shown in the following display. Alternatively,

Items to view the resources as a tile
gallery.
Comparison of Two Resource Lists in the Same Workspace

can be displayed as tiles at the same time in the workspace. However,
legibility of the images might be impaired if more than nine resource
