Opening Reports in the Designer :: SAS(R) Visual Analytics 6.2: User's Guide

Reports in SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer) are saved when you use either the Save window or the Save As window. A saved report contains at least one section. Typically, a section uses data items from a data source to perform queries. The section displays the results with one or more report objects (for example, a table, a graph, a gauge, a control, and so on).

A section is not required to contain any report objects. For example, you might have a report that you use as a template to create other reports. Your template-like report might contain data sources, calculated items, global data filters, and shared display rules, but it does not contain report objects.

To open a saved report:

On the home page, select a report. In the details view, click Edit. Or, you can double-click on the report that you want to open.
In the designer:
- Select FileRecent, and then select a report name.
- Click beside the recent content drop-down list at the top of the window, and then select a report name.
- Click on the menu bar to navigate to a report, and then select it.
- Select FileOpen to display the Open window.
