Overview of the Project Tree

The SAS Model Manager repository organizes projects by using folders in the Project Tree. The root node of the tree, MMRoot, represents the repository. From the root node, you add organizational folders for your modeling projects. Create as many organizational folder levels as you need. Then, you can create projects, create project control groups, or attach associated documents to a folder.

The following example shows how folders can be organized for a global business:

The Home Equity folder contains subfolders for five continents. In the Europe folder, the Spain folder contains the project HMEQ. The HMEQ project has two versions, 2012 and 2013, the Model Retrain folder, the Performance Monitor folder, XML files that contain the project input and output variables, and the Documents folder. The Documents folder contains the attached document MMMonitoringProcess.docx.

To learn more about the tasks that you can perform to organize the Project Tree, see the following topics:

Note: SAS Model Manager provides macros that you can use to programmatically add folders, projects, and versions. For more information, see Macros for Adding Folders, Projects, Versions, and Setting Properties.

Here are some other common tasks that you can perform on an organizational folder, a project folder, or a version folder:
