Prerequisites for Creating Projects

Projects can be created only by SAS Model Manager administrators and SAS Model Manager advanced users. Ensure that users who create projects are assigned to the group Model Manager Administrator Users or Model Manager Advanced Users in SAS Management Console.
All modeling projects require that you know the model function type before you create a project.
SAS Model Manager has several model function types:
  • Analytical
  • Prediction
  • Classification
  • Segmentation
  • Any
To determine the model function type for your project, compare your model to the descriptions in the table Types of Model Functions.
If you use prototype tables to define the project input and output variables, the project input and output tables must be created and registered in the SAS Metadata Repository using SAS Management Console before you can create a project. You then can view the data tables from the Data Sources perspective in SAS Model Manager. See the following documents for details:
  • For instructions about creating project input and output tables, see the topic Creating Project Input and Output Tables.
  • The SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide has instructions on registering project input and output tables in SAS Management Console.
