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.
