Associate Documents with a Folder :: SAS(R) Model Manager 3.1: User's Guide

About Associating Documents

You associate documents that are stored externally to SAS Model Manager and that are related to your modeling project by attaching them to an organizational folder, a Document folder, or a Resources folder. For example, you might attach a project plan so that you can reference the plan while you are working within SAS Model Manager.

You cannot edit an attached document in SAS Model Manager. You can attach updated files of the same name to the same folder. To make changes to a document, make the changes to the file on your computer and then reattach the document in the Project Tree. Each time you reattach a document, SAS Model Manager creates a new version of the document. All historical files are saved.

The Show History window displays the versions of a document that have been attached to a folder in the Project Tree. The Create Date column in the Show History window is the date that the document was attached to the folder. From the Show History window, you can view the document or save a version of a document.
