    Tip
    If you select A specific object, then you can use the Choose an Item window to choose one content type (for example, reports, explorations, tables, stored processes, and so on) for your initial screen. The available content types depend on the SAS products that your site has licensed and how they are configured.
  4. Specify Order the actions associated with a content type preferences. Select a Content type, and then use the arrow keys to specify the Order of actions. This preference affects the order of actions in the object inspector’s toolbar.
    This preference determines which application opens when you click on a link to a report in an e-mail message. For example, suppose that you specify Edit - SAS Visual Analytics Designer as the first item in the list of actions for the SAS report (2G) content type. Then, you receive an e-mail message with a link to a report. When you click the link to the report, it is displayed in the designer.
