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 Visual Analytics:
Analysis role or the 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 report objects or visuals 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.
