The SAS Visual Analytics
Designer (the designer) enables users to easily create reports or
dashboards that can be saved and viewed on either a mobile device
or in the viewer. The designer is part of the SAS Visual Analytics
product that enables a user with either the
SAS Visual
Analytics: Analysis role or the
SAS Visual
Analytics: Administration role can 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, images, stored processes, and controls to reports.
All of this is accomplished by using the designer, which runs in a
web browser. You do not need to understand a programming language
to create reports.
Report authors can easily
create reports and dashboards based on data sources that have been
provided by a system administrator. They can update reports that were
created from visual explorations. Report authors can create reports
by importing objects or visual explorations from other reports. They
can also define interactions (either filtering or brushing) for report
objects, and then include SAS analytical results in a single report.
