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 to view, interact with,
and create reports. Simply open an existing report and interact with
the information based on your current needs. Report designers 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 designers 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 designers 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.
