Specify Your Preferences for the Explorer

Here are the steps to specify preferences that are specific to SAS Visual Analytics Explorer (the explorer):

Select FilePreferences to open the Preferences window.
Select SAS Visual Analytics ExplorerGeographic Mapping.
Select the default Map provider mode for geographic maps. The map provider creates the background map for geo maps and for network diagrams that display a map.

Note: You can change the map provider for an individual visualization by editing the Map service value on the Properties tab.
If your Map provider mode is Esri, then you must select the specific Esri map service that you want to use.
Select SAS Visual Analytics ExplorerVisualizations.
Select a Graph skin to change the visual effects that are applied to your graphs. For example, many of the Graph skin settings apply lighting effects to the features of your graph to create a 3-D appearance.
Select Visualization data threshold to specify the amount of data values that your visualizations can process. The precise amount of data that is supported varies depending on the visualization type. See Data Limits.

Note: A high value for Visualization data threshold might degrade your application performance or lead to time-out errors.
Select Update automatically to specify whether new visualizations apply your changes automatically.
To return to the default settings, select Reset to Defaults.
Click OK to apply your changes. Your preferences persist between sessions.
