About the SAS Visual Analytics Designer Interface

The designer interface enables users to easily create reports or dashboards that can be saved and viewed on either a mobile device or in a Web viewer that is provided with SAS Visual Analytics. The designer interface is part of the SAS Visual Analytics product that enables someone with either the Analysis or Administration role to view, interact with, and create reports. Simply open an existing report and interact with the information based on your current needs. Report authors can easily point and click to query central sources of data. You can drag-and-drop tables, graphs, and gauges to create a well-designed report. You can also add text and images to reports. All of this is accomplished by using the designer interface, which runs in a Web browser. You do not need to understand a programming language.
Report authors can easily create basic queries and reports based on data sources that have been provided by an administrator. They can also update reports that were created from visual explorations. You can also create reports by importing objects or visual explorations from other reports. Report authors can also define interactions (either filtering or brushing) for report objects and include SAS analytical results into a single report.
