About Managing Data Tables

The Data category enables you to manage your list of data tables from within SAS Model Manager. You can create new Base SAS libraries, add and remove tables, view table data and metadata, create and delete table summaries, and associate attachments and comments with tables. The application uses these data tables whenever it needs to access data, such as for testing, scoring, retraining, and performance monitoring of models.

You can view the list of tables by selecting Data

Tables. There are three ways to add tables to the list.

You can use SAS Visual Data Builder to create new tables and add them to the list. See Adding Tables Using SAS Visual Data Builder for more information.
If the table is already registered in the SAS Metadata Repository, you can add the table to the list as described in Add Tables That Are Registered in Metadata.
If the table is not already registered in the SAS Metadata Repository, you can add a new table as described in Register and Add New Tables.

Note:

SAS Model Manager cannot access tables in a SAS LASR Analytic Server instance.
If you do not have the appropriate permissions to access a folder, then the tables and libraries are not listed in the Data category view.
You can view tables with double-byte characters (DBCS) in the table name or in variable names, and you can use them to create summary tables. You can use them in models, model projects, and model portfolios, as well as their associated tasks. To use these tables, support for DBCS characters must be enabled as described in Extend Support for Double-Byte Characters in Table and Variable Names in SAS Model Manager: Administrator’s Guide.
Special characters and blanks are not supported in table names or in variable names.
