About Reports

You can drag and drop tables, graphs, and gauges to create a well-designed report in SAS Visual Analytics Designer. You can also add text, images, and other controls to reports. Reports can contain multiple sections.

When you design a report, keep in mind that it might look slightly different on a mobile device or in the SAS Visual Analytics Viewer. For example, the layout of the tiles in the treemap is dependent on the size of the display area. This means that the same treemap might appear slightly different in SAS Visual Analytics Designer than it does in SAS Visual Analytics Viewer or on a mobile device. For more information about treemaps, see About Treemaps.

Reports that are imported from SAS Visual Analytics Explorer might look slightly different in SAS Visual Analytics Designer.

SAS Visual Analytics Designer provides a report view that enables you to change the size of the canvas that you use for laying out reports. There are three report views: Full Screen, Tablet, or Wide-Screen Tablet. The default report view is Full Screen. You can access the report views from the View menu or by the icons (, , or ) on the menu bar.

Two report layouts are available in SAS Visual Analytics Designer: Precision and Tiled. For more information, see Choosing a Report Layout.
